Marville and the Saint-Hilaire graveyard
The village of Marville in Lorraine, once a Spanish domain, shows a special civil architecture made of Renaissance facades. During the 16th century Marville had 2000 inhabitants and was prosperous, numerous noble, bourgeois or trading families coming there to settle down.
Saint-Nicolas is a remarkable gothic church of the 13-16th centuries.
Marville was a Canadian NATO military base from 1954 to 1967.
The romane church of Saint-Hilaire (12th century) is at 2 km from the village. It still is surrounded by its graveyard: beautiful tombstones, remarkable ossuary (15th century). Though most of the ossuaries have now disappeared, Saint-Hilaire still shelters as many as 40 000 skulls and bones.
