Saint-Éloi Church of Tracy-le-Val

Highlight • Religious Site

The church is believed to have been built in the 12th century under the authority of the Knights Templar[2]. The church was almost completely destroyed during the First World War and was rebuilt identically in its original Romanesque style. It received its new blessing on March 6, 1932. It is characterized by its two-story bell tower, one square and the other octagonal, the capitals in the shape of heads perched on small columns, numerous sculptures along the gutters, and the modillions carved with fantastical figures.
