Architectural Heritage and History
The Saint-Pierre Church in Fresnes-en-Woëvre was completely rebuilt in 1924 after wartime destruction and blessed on 10 January 1926. It is a single-nave building with a partially projecting bell tower integrated into the façade and a flat-ended choir. The Saint-Pierre aux liens Church is distinguished by its two bell towers. The reconstruction architecture of Fresnes-en-Woëvre is characterised by the use of materials such as brick, continuous building lines and representative bourgeois houses.
The gravestone for Laurent Pinguet, the provost of Fresnes, dates from around 1527; it was transferred to the parish church after the war. The church also houses the two statues of Antoinette de Naives, who died on 26 June 1602, and Madeleine de Gorcy, who died on 10 June 1628. The statues come from the former church of Aulnois-en-Woëvre and were separated from a funerary monument in the chapel of Aulnois Castle.
Significant ruins of the later Château d’Aulnois, which was destroyed during the First World War, have been preserved. The settlement of Aulnois-en-Woëvre was situated on the Roman road from Verdun to Metz. In Fresnes-en-Woëvre, a stele also commemorates the shooting on 1 September 1944.
The Monument du général Margueritte was erected in 1884 in memory of General Jean Margueritte. It was restored in 1931 after its two figures had been decapitated by German troops during the First World War.
