Admirable for its typically Romanesque silhouette dominating the podium square in the heart of the city and for its stylistic coherence, the Saint-Adelphe church, open every day, offers a beautiful, well-restored interior space. We will also focus on the discreet and mysterious flat surfaces of the transept, visibly and mysteriously inspired by Celtic mythology.

Danmark Church

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
