ABBAYE SAINT MAUR

The former abbey church of Saint Maur (11th century) stands in the centre of the village near the Place du Prince. The monastery welcomed Benedictine nuns and then monks until 1791. Symbol of the first Romanesque art in Lorraine, its architecture integrates the influences of the Ottonian and Burgundian Romanesque. The church was transformed in the 16th and 18th centuries. The crypt (10th century), which is a rare example of Carolingian work, kept the relics of the martyrs Bathaire and Attalein (8th century). Small archaeological and Gallo-Roman museum. The nearby priory (18th century) houses a museum of religious life and popular piety. A small monastic garden has been laid out between the church and the priory.
