About Église

L'église Saint-Rémi est une église catholique paroissiale située à Orrouy, dans l'Oise, en France. C'est l'une des très rares églises à posséder un clocher-porche roman, des années 1130, largement inspiré de la tour occidentale de Morienval. La nef basilicale, bâtie après le clocher, a déjà des grandes arcades en tiers-point, mais n'est pas conçue pour être voûtée.
