Town of Neufchâtel-en-Bray

Highlight • Other

The town of Neufchâtel is one of the martyr towns that suffered significant destruction during the 2nd World War. However, the city center which is a little away from the Avenue Verte deserves a little detour. Around the church, whose foundations date back to the 12th century, there are still a few old houses, the oldest of which, dating from the 16th century, now houses a museum.

Notre-Dame Church of Neufchâtel-en-Bray

Highlight • Religious Site

Listed as a Historic Monument, the Notre-Dame church is a very interesting building that expresses some very characteristic features of the architecture of the Norman School, particularly in the Gothic choir attributed to the 13th century.
The bell tower-porch has a late 15th century portal with an ogival arcade that frames an openwork tympanum. Above the portal is built a flamboyant style rose window. The nave, flanked by two side aisles, was built in the 13th century, but was extensively remodeled in the 16th and 17th centuries. It has an interior elevation on 3 levels.

All that remains of the primitive Romanesque church is the base of the old lantern tower. Visible only from the outside, it is located at the crossing of the transept.

The church has some singularities:

-The sepulchre dating from the 15th century, representing Christ stretched out on a shroud, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, Saint John the Evangelist, the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene.

-The stained glass windows are attributed for the most part to Édouard Didron, a great Parisian master glassmaker.

The Washhouse of the Fontaine aux Dames

Highlight • Monument

The Fontaine aux Dames wash house, purchased by the town hall in 1998, has undergone a complete restoration. The original building being in ruins, a reconstruction was carried out according to a Brayon washhouse model in the year 2000: low brick wall, oak frame and roofing in traditional local tiles. The wash house houses a ceramic work “the monument to the unknown lover” which we owe to the Brayon artists Jacques and Juliette Damville; This monument pays tribute to women for the role they played during the First World War.
