Église Saint-Lucien de Bury

About

Saint Lucian Church is a Catholic parish church located in Bury, Oise, France. It gathers a Romanesque nave of three spans with low sides completed around 1140 to a transept and a Gothic choir finished around 1240. The church has never undergone any changes affecting its plan, elevation or structure since that date.

The first half of the 16th century brought only minor changes, concerning the replacement of some vaults and pillars, or the equipping of some Gothic windows with a flamboyant reamp. The two parts of the building are remarkable: the Romanesque part to possess vaults on cross of early warheads and an unusual interior decoration with arcades decorated with broken sticks, and the Gothic part for the importance of its volumes and their harmony, as well as for the careful decoration of the southern facade. A bell tower itself is lacking, but the church has two large staircase towers, one Romanesque and the other Gothic.

As a whole, Saint Lucian Church is of great archaeological interest and is distinguished by its generous dimensions in relation to the size of the village. It was classified as monuments...
