The exhibition looks at the ABCs of some of the symbols they used for this purpose. After a diversion through everyday language and the Bible, where these symbols abound, we will look at where and how they used them, in our church in particular, to make this building a place for the Christian community but at the same time a place where no one can feel like an outsider.

Everyone is welcome!

Exhibition open during church opening hours.

Saint Gery

This church is part of the important patrimony of the town. It is Gothic and is distinguished by its large grey tower.

Inside several items of architecture, sculpture and painting are noteworthy whether they be vaults, bas relieves or polychrome statues. One such statue in massive oak of Saint Christopher is from the 15th century and stands 4.85 metres high.

The belfry has an interesting carillon of 48 bells.
