Notre-Dame Church

The church of Villé, built between 1754 and 1758 by Joseph Elmerich following the plans of architect Chassain, stands out for its Baroque style.

Its facade is topped by a bell tower, while the nave, 19.6 meters wide and 40 meters long, opens onto two side aisles framing a Neo-Gothic choir.

At the entrance, a statue of the Curé d'Ars and the baptismal font welcome visitors. The vault features three symbolic motifs: an equilateral triangle with the eye of God, a dove representing the Holy Spirit, and the Christ monogram. The pulpit, topped by a golden pelican symbolizing Christ, overlooks the left side aisle housing a depiction of the emaciated Christ.

The right side aisle contains the Chapel of the Virgin, adorned with a statue of the Virgin and Child and two stained glass windows by Kuder: "The Virgin Consoler of the Afflicted" and "The Virgin Saves the Weak."

The side altars are dedicated to Saint Joseph and Saint Aloysius on the left, and to Saint Barbara and Saint Clare on the right.

The nave's stained glass windows, designed by René Kuder and made by Alphonse Ehret, illustrate scenes from the life of the Virgin, while the triumphal arch bears a fresco by Kuder depicting an invocation to the Virgin. The choir, illuminated by three stained glass windows by Kuder (the Crucifixion, the Assumption, and the Last Judgment), houses a harmonious main altar and a large painting attributed to Jehl representing the Assumption of the Virgin.

A crucifixion dominates the sacristy door, and an effigy of Saint Cecilia adorns the gallery.

The organ, installed in 1913 by Rinckenbach, completes the ensemble.
