Saint Gorgon, Gothic church in Varangéville, France
The Saint Gorgon church features three naves of equal height, extending 48 meters in length with eight bays and a pentagonal apse.
Built between 1510 and 1530 under Cardinal Jean of Lorraine's patronage, this church replaced an earlier Romanesque structure from which only the priory tower remains.
The church contains a notable collection of wooden sculptures, including a 1.3-meter Pietà from the early 16th century, characteristic of the Lorraine region.
Visitors can explore the church through guided tours, which can be combined with visits to the nearby salt mine for group experiences.
The church walls contain embedded skulls of wealthy deceased individuals from Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, following a regional burial tradition.
