Culture and History
The church houses the painting “Saint”. It depicts a scene from the life of a saint, possibly Saint Leonard.
The same painting may have come from the now-ruined Chapelle Saint-Léonard.
The painting “Saint” in the Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption church in Louvières is an 18th-century work.
A chapel near the Château de Gruchy was dedicated to Notre-Dame de la Garde. As a freestanding chapel in the park near the Château de Gruchy, it was built around 1866 by Adhémar de Pierres for his wife and sister.
The Chapelle de Gruchy is associated with Louvières.
In 1944, the Château de Gruchy served as the command post of Company 9/726 of the 726th Grenadier Regiment.
The chapel near the Château de Gruchy is closed because its interior has not been restored.
