Longvillers: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

Sacred art appears in several different forms in the Church of Saint Vigor in Longvillers. The statue of Saint Vigor is a polychrome limestone sculpture; only the chasuble is made of wood. It is listed as a protected movable object. The painting of Saint Vigor is an oil painting on canvas in a gilded wooden frame and was restored by Poinsier in 1975. The church itself was built on a Latin-cross plan; its southern transept rises as a bell tower.

The Château de Mathan consists of buildings from different periods arranged around a square courtyard.

Anyone considering Longvillers as a destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
