Ménil-Vin: Holiday apartments and houses

The Église Saint-Pierre is a striking testament to the local history. Its origins date back to the 10th or 11th century; a herringbone masonry pattern is visible in the masonry of its north and south walls.

Culture

The choir window of the Église Saint-Pierre also bears witness to several construction phases: it may date from the 15th century and was bricked up in the 18th century when an altarpiece was installed. The building comprises a portal bell tower crowned by a polygonal spire, a nave, a straight-ended choir, and a sacristy added to the north side of the choir.

The church is built from small rubble stones of slate and granite. As a result, the unrendered building has a polychromatic appearance. Château de Falaise, a castle, is also located in the vicinity of Ménil-Vin. Château Ganne, also a castle, lies in the wider regional area. Abbaye de Villers-Canivet is a historic site in the vicinity of Ménil-Vin. Ancien lavoir is a monument in the vicinity of Ménil-Vin.
