Église Saint-Julien-l'Hospitalier de Longuet

About

The chapel Saint-Julien-l'Hospitalier de Cocquerel is located on the territory of the commune of Cocquerel, in the department of the Somme, southeast of Abbeville.

A chapel was built in 1716 on the foundations of a small hermitage dating from the Templars. After having been dedicated to St Andrew, she was placed under the protection of St Julien the Hospitaller (or The Poor), probably because of her geographical location. Indeed, the hamlet of Longuet is located on the edge of the Somme, 800 meters from the commune of Long, once very prosperous. The passage of the river was for the inhabitants of this village at the height of the hamlet of Longuet. The legend told by Flaubert, learns that the saint dedicated part of his life to being a smuggler.

Description: It is built in chalky white stone of the country and surmounted by a campenard, in the hamlet of Longuet. The stained glass installed in 1939 speaks of the life of the saint. Repair work was carried out in 1998.

Pilgrimage: A pilgrimage takes place on Easter Monday to celebrate the patron saint of the hamlet of Longuet.
