cults3d

Contemporary with the burning of the Romanesque cathedral of Notre-Dame de Laon (1112-1120), the foundation of the Prémontrés order by Saint Norbert de Xanten in the forest of Voas (1121), it was in the 12th century that the parish of Urcel received the necessary funds to build a church. It will therefore be of Romanesque style. This is a European artistic style used in Picardy from the 11th century onwards, which favors volumes without vaults, semi-circular openings and a profusion of sculptures and styles on the capitals, columns and porches. From the middle of the 12th century, Romanesque art was supplanted by the construction techniques and style of Gothic art throughout Picardy. The church of Urcel will be a link in this architectural transition.Dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, it will be classified in 1880 as a Historic Monument as an example of Romanesque church of transition.
