Notre-Dame (Poissy)
The parish church of Notre-Dame in Poissy in the French department of Yvelines (region Île-de-France ) is a former collegiate church (French: Collégiale ) built in the 12th century , which was cared for by a canonical monastery until the French Revolution .
history
The church experienced construction phases from the end of the 11th to the 16th centuries, so the oldest parts are Romanesque - four capitals were carved in 1150 - and the younger parts are Gothic . It was renovated around 1830 by the architect Auguste Goy , and from 1845 to 1869 by Viollet-le-Duc . Since 1840 it has been one of the Monuments historiques .
The importance of this church lies primarily in the fact that King Louis the Saint (Saint Louis) was baptized here on April 25, 1214.
Building description
The church consists of a central nave and two side aisles, from which a series of chapels extend. There is no transept. Two towers shape the characteristic image of the church: the square, very massive west tower has an octagonal spike on it, the octagonal east tower sits above the easternmost yoke of the main nave.
The choir is aligned with the sunrise on August 15th ( Assumption of Mary ), with the result that it is not in the same axis as the nave.
Furnishing
organ
The organ was built in 1903 by Charles Mutin to replace an instrument made by the organ builder family Dallery . In the course of a restoration, the organ builder Gutschenritter added four registers to the Récit in 1959 . In the years 2000–2003 the instrument was extensively renovated by the organ building company Manufacture Bretonne d'Orgues. It has 27 stops on two manual works and a pedal ; the stops of the pedal are mainly transmissions and extensions of the stops of the manuals. The Spieltrakturen are mechanically (with Barker machines in the Grand Orgue) that Registertrakturen are mechanical, with the exception of tracker action of the four registers of Gutschenritter which are pneumatic.
