L’Épine - Basilique Notre-Dame

L’Épine - Basilique Notre-Dame
Since the 13th century a small church, dedicated to the Virgin, was known here, that developed into a place of pilgrimage. Rich donations made the erection of the church seen today possible. The construction started in 1405 and was completed in 1527.

Basilique Notre-Dame, located in a village (pop. ~600), is about 59 metres long. There is a replica of the miraculous statue of the Virgin. According to a legend the statue was found by shepherds in the Middle Ages in a burning thorn bush. And this "Mise au tombeau". This 16th-century ensemble was moved to the basilica from a former convent in Châlons-en-Champagne.
