Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption - Mathieu

Description

This building was constructed in the late 11th or early 12th century.
Over the following centuries, it was reduced in size and substantially altered. The length of the nave was reduced, which explains why it has only two bays, whereas the choir has three. The side walls are in opus spicatum.

The Romanesque bell tower was modified during the 1933-1934 remodelling. The nave's stained-glass windows (1939) were designed by Georges-Pierre Sagot, a master glassmaker from Bayeux. The murals and the large wainscoting in the choir frame are the work of Chartres-born painter Louis Chifflet, whose theological painting is part of the French Nazarene movement. The stained glass windows in the choir were created by the renowned Lorin workshop in Chartres. This ensemble of paintings and stained glass is one of the most sumptuous in the region.
