Summary edit

Description

Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Chaumont-en-Vexin.

Construite vers 1530-1535 en style ogival flamboyant sauf la tour de style Renaissance. L'église sera consacrée en 1554 par le cardinal Charles de Bourbon qui était le neveu du principal donataire.

Le breton Jacques Cambry, le premier préfet de l'Oise, nommé par Napoléon, parlera de "miniature de cathédrale".

L'édifice n'est pas parfaitement orienté suivant la tradition, son axe longitudinal étant orienté du nord-est au sud-ouest. Certainement une conséquence du terrain choisi.

Il était prévu une deuxième tour, mais celle-ci ne dépassa pas trois ou quatre mètres de hauteur et fut finalement démolie au XIXe siècle.

Church of St. John Baptist de Chaumont-en-Vexin .

Built around 1530-1535 in flamboyant Gothic style except the tower Renaissance. The church was consecrated in 1554 by Cardinal Charles de Bourbon, who was the nephew of the main recipient.

Jacques Cambry, the first Prefect of the Oise, appointed by Napoleon, will discuss "miniature cathedral."

The building is not perfectly oriented according to tradition, its longitudinal axis is oriented northeast to southwest. Certainly a consequence of the chosen field.

It was planned a second tower, but it did not exceed three or four meters high and was finally demolished in the nineteenth century.
