[FR] L'eglise compte parmi les monuments notables d'Ecouen. C'est la seule eglise de France a porter le nom de Saint Acceul, evangelisateur de Languedoc.
De fondation tres ancienne, l'edifice de 36 metres de long fut rebati a partir de 1536. L'architecte Jean Bullant y a tres certainement contribute.
A ne pas manquer :
Mais le veritable tresor de l'eglise est constitue d'un ensemble de vitraux du XVIeme siecle. Ils font partie des plus beaux de France!
Ils empruntent pour la plupart leurs sujets a la vie de la vierge Marie avec une nette influence de l'ecole italienne. Mais les grandes verrieres representent le connetable de Montmorency, financeur du choeur de l'eglise, son epouse Madeleine de Savoie et leurs enfants.
"Le bras arme de l'epee", reperable plusieurs fois dans l'eglise, sur la partie avant du plafond du choeur, symbolise les hautes fonctions du connetable du royaume.
[EN] The church counts among the most important monuments of Ecouen. It is the only church in France devoted to Saint Acceul, evangelist from Langedoc.
Based on very ancient foundation (sic), this 36 meters (118 ft) long building was rebuilt as from 1536. Jean Bullant, architect, has probably collaborated to it (sic).
Don't miss :
The true treasure of the church is composed of a unit of 16th century stained glass. They are some of the most beautiful of their kind in France!
For most of them, they take their inspiration from the life of Mary, with a very clear influence from the Italian school. The great church windows represent the constable of Montmorency, patron of the church's heart (sic), his spouse Madeleine de Savoie and their children.
"The arm armed with the sword", located in several parts of the church, on the front part of the church's heart's (sic) ceiling, symbolises the high profile of the Kingdom's Constable.
