Based on the hypotheses of Delphine Hanquiez, lecturer and doctor in art history, Fran\u00e7oise Roy explains to us <em>\"that<strong>there were three successive buildings <\/strong>first of all a <strong>church on 10<sup>th<\/sup> century<\/strong> which disturbed a Merovingian burial site, as sarcophagi were found near the current entrance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This church was built by monks for their monastery, which grew in importance in the 11th century.<sup>th <\/sup>century when a Cluniac priory was founded in 1081: <em>\"&nbsp;<\/em><strong><em>This church also tells us a story, <\/em>says Fran\u00e7oise Roy, <em>that of Hugues de Dammartin<\/em><\/strong><em>This was a medieval lord who, having reached the middle of his life, decided to work for his salvation by donating the church of Saint-Leu to the bishop of Beauvais, thus offering it to the Cluniac order. This donation was accompanied by other gifts: land, vineyards, mills and passage taxes, which would enable the construction of a church worthy of the Cluniac order, which was then in full expansion.<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>His descendant, Renaud de Dammartin<\/strong> was a typical medieval aristocrat who enjoyed waging war and taking over land and churches. He <strong>attracted the wrath of the Church<\/strong> who excommunicated him, one of the worst punishments that could be inflicted on a person. <strong>Surprisingly, despite his excommunication, his recumbent statue can still be seen today in the Abbey Church.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following donations made by his grandfather, Hugues de Dammartin, the monks launched a series of construction projects, the first of which was the western section, i.e. the entrance to the church with its various porches. The existing church was kept; they simply added this worship and processional space and a southern tower. In 1160, the choir began to be built, along with the two large towers overlooking the Oise valley. Finally, from the 1180s onwards, the monks set about building the nave, i.e. the junction between the western section and the choir. Historians estimate that the main work was completed around 1210.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-4 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

He transferred the fair of his castellany from Creil to Hescerent (Esserent) in order to increase the monastery's income and resume work on the church.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-6 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"668\" data-id=\"33859\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8-1200x668.jpg\" alt=\"Abbey church Oise visit heritage Romanesque Gothic cluny\" class=\"wp-image-33859\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8-1200x668.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8-600x334.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8-900x501.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8-1536x854.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8-200x111.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8-650x362.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8-387x215.jpg 387w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8-275x153.jpg 275w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Abbatiale-\u00a9-Ardoise-8.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">L'Ardoise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"924\" height=\"608\" data-id=\"33159\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-absidioles.jpg\" alt=\"Abbey church Oise visit heritage Romanesque Gothic cluny\" class=\"wp-image-33159\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-absidioles.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-absidioles-600x395.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-absidioles-900x592.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-absidioles-200x132.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-absidioles-650x428.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-absidioles-387x255.jpg 387w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-absidioles-275x181.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Creil Sud Oise Tourisme<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"32516\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Narthex-de-l_Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent.jpg\" alt=\"Abbey church Oise visit heritage Romanesque Gothic cluny\" class=\"wp-image-32516\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Narthex-de-l_Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Narthex-de-l_Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Narthex-de-l_Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Narthex-de-l_Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-282x424.jpg 282w, https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Narthex-de-l_Abbatiale-Saint-Nicolas-a\u0300-Saint-Leu-d_Esserent-387x581.jpg 387w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">J\u00e9r\u00e9my Bourgeois<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention <strong>the monks of the Abbey were monk lords<\/strong> thanks to the donation of land and rights of way by Hugues de Dammartin. The monks thus enjoyed the right of ban, allowing them to sell their wine first, which they stored in the Banvin cellar below the Abbey Church in Rue de l'\u00c9glise, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/en\/agenda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">which your guide will also show you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Architectural styles that evolve over the course of history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What also makes this Abbey exceptional is<strong> the diversity of architectural styles <\/strong>of which it is composed. The first church was <strong>Carolingian<\/strong>then a western massif <strong>novel<\/strong> was added to it. Then, the choir from the second half of the 12th century was added.<sup>th<\/sup> century is <strong>Gothic<\/strong>A revolutionary style, as Fran\u00e7oise Roy explains: <em>\"Gothic wasn't called Gothic at all at the time, but opus francig\u00e9num, which meant '...'.<\/em>French art'.<em> \"<\/em> An architecture that transformed the French landscape and still leaves its mark today. Finally, the windows of the chapel on 13<sup>th <\/sup>century are part of the <strong>radiant gothic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Abbey church was not spared by the Second World War<\/strong>as Fran\u00e7oise Roy recounts: <em>\"In 1944, a bomb fell on the north tower. It didn't explode, but the blast caused damage. The bomb was dropped by the Allies, as Saint-Leu-d'Esserent was where the V1 missiles that were to destroy London were stored.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could also write many lines on the various ornaments decorating the capitals, towers, keystones and woodwork of the 18th century.<sup>th<\/sup> in the south chapel, but the best way to discover them is on a guided tour of the church. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creilsudoise-tourisme.fr\/en\/agenda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a guided tour<\/a>. And our tour guide won't tell you otherwise: <em>\"Visiting these sites means visiting history in a different way, weaving a tangible link with the past thanks to the remains, witnesses to a distant past that comes to life during a visit.
