Église Saint-Laurent

Mardigny church dates back to the 12th century, but was extensively modified in the 19th century.
The original Romanesque bell tower and narthex were listed in July 1997.

Set back from the village, it dominates it like many other Romanesque churches in Lorraine.
For many years, it was an annex of the Lorry parish church. Until the French Revolution, therefore, it was not possible to celebrate baptisms, marriages or funerals here.

Originally, it was a single-nave church, with the choir facing east. The church was entered through a door in the south wall, opening onto a narthex. This narthex, or avant-nef, was separated from the nave by three arches, still visible today. The central arch rests on two round pillars with cubic capitals and claw bases, known to have been used in Lorraine and Alsace in the early 12th century. The central square of the narthex, bordered by these two columns and cross-vaulted, supports the bell tower, which is steeply inclined to the west despite a powerful buttress.

It is now used as a sacristy.
