Parish church Saint-Remi Category: parish church surface of study: Marmoutier addresses: General-Leclerc (street of) constituent parts: cemetery time of construction: 14th century (?) ; 1st quarter 18th century; 3rd quarter 19th century year: 1721; 1864 author (S): unknown project superintendent history: The origin of the church goes back at least to the 10th century, the term of Remi saint being an additional proof of seniority. The current building includes/understands a turn-chorus undoubtedly dating from the 14th century, rather in first half (chorus present of the similarities with that of the vault of Sindelsberg at Marmoutier dating from the beginning of the 14th century). The walls and the vaults of the chorus were covered until 1895 of murals representing the last Judgment and several saints; on the embrasures of the windows of rinceaux decorated pinks; discovered in 1866, they are currently hidden by the current coating or are disappeared. The nave carries the date 1721 on a oculus of the wall-pinion; it is bored windows with two trefoil forms or in accodance of Gothic inspiration, which led several authors to date it from the 16th century. These windows can be close to those of the tower of the abbey church of Andlau raised in 1704. The old nave was less low than the current one (one sees the trace of the roof on the western face of the tower, in the roof of the nave). The door of the Western wall was pierced in 1864 and was preceded by a porch. description: The church rises on a quay level dominating the main street, occupied by the cemetery, with installed sandstone retaining walls; a staircase leads to the church. The former wall-pinion is preceded by a sandstone porch installed of the end of the 19th century. Walls with gripped chains of angle, oculus walled (carrying the date 1721), covered pinion of sandstone flagstones. The side walls are bored bays with two forms, with profiled central mullion and trefoil network in accodance or gothic arch. The turn-chorus presents above the nave an installed sandstone wall, the others faces of the tower are out of rough-cast hardcores, with cords underlining the levels, each one in withdrawal on the precedent. The bays of the ground floor are with two forms, with trefoil or quatrefoil in the network. The 2nd level is bored in the south and the north of a small bay in semicircular arch monolith. The 3rd level is bored bays twinned in gothic arch, with central post (except in the west). Projecting acroteria in the east, roof as a bâtière. Inside reached a maximum nave, with profiled apparent beams. Triumphal arch in gothic arch, chamfered. The chorus occupying the ground floor of the tower, is arched warheads falling down on frayed bases. Keystone carved of sheets of oak. Carry sacristy to the south. carcass work heavy castings: sandstone; hone of size; hardcore; coating stages: 1 vessel decoration: sculpture typology: turn-chorus state: restored date protection MH: building not protected MH type of study: preliminary inventory go back to investigation: 1997 writer (S): Scheurer Marie-Philippe; Raimbault Jerome N° note: IA67007650 © general Inventaire, 1998
