Église Notre-Dame de Champ-le-Duc

About

The church of the Assumption-de-Notre-Dame de Champ-le-Duc is a Romanesque building built in the 12th century (perhaps in the 11th century but without any proof) on the site of a so-called 9th-century villa, the foundation of which is attributed to Emperor Charlemagne himself, who would have had the habit of hunting in the vicinity. The church underwent several restorations, mainly in the 18th century, after World War II, and then in the late 20th century following a fire. The building has been classified as historic monuments since 7 March 1908. The organ, attributed to Nicolas Dupont, built in 1781, then transformed by Jacquot Jeanpierre in 1871 was classified as the object of historical monuments (for its instrumental part) on December 6, 1965.
