Religious heritage in the commune and trails in the surrounding Forêt de Crécy region offer different themes for a trip to Domvast. The cultural details relate to the village itself; the walking and riding opportunities are in the surrounding area.
A Collection Spanning Several Centuries
The Noli me tangere ensemble comes from Domvast’s former church, which once served as the priory chapel. It includes elements from the 17th and 18th centuries. The ensemble is listed as a protected historic monument; this protection has been in place since 11 May 1981. The century references apply to elements of the ensemble, not to a single date of origin for the entire collection. By contrast, the date 1981 marks when protection began. This distinguishes the collection’s origins, historical elements and protected status.
Religious Traces in the Village
The niche of Notre-Dame du Rondel was installed on 19 June 1791. Another landmark is the so-called Arbre à chapelle near Domvast: a tree with a hanging niche containing a figure of the Virgin Mary associated with Notre-Dame du Rondel. In Domvast church, the confessional is fitted with a bell clapper. These examples show different forms of religious heritage: a dated niche, a tree with a figure of the Virgin Mary, and a furnishing detail inside the church.
