Église Saint-Martin de Millery, Medieval church in Millery, France
Église Sainte-Croix de Millery is a stone church built of light beige rectangular blocks, with a pointed-arch doorway containing a double red door, a circular rose window with a wheel pattern above it, and a square tower topped by a small lantern and cross. Its choir and nave form the upright of a Latin cross, with two chapels as the arms.
The church was built during the medieval period and later received official protection as a French historical monument. The formal designation came in 1939 to safeguard its heritage value.
The tympanum above the entrance door carries a bas-relief of Jesus touching the little children, inscribed "Sinite parvulos venire ad me", a phrase inviting the faithful to bring the simplicity of childhood to the holy mysteries. The chapel now called Sacré-Cœur was dedicated to Sainte-Anne until 1885.
The church is located in the heart of Millery and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should note that access and visiting times may vary depending on religious services and events.
