Saint Felix Church

The Saint-Félix church is a Catholic parish church located in Saint-Félix, Oise, France. It combines a large single nave from the early twelfth century with a thirteenth-century Gothic choir, which consists of three parallel vessels, and ends with a flat chevet. The western portal, from the first Gothic period, is the beginning of a new façade, which was left unfinished. The interior of the nave is surprising in that its framework is supported in part by wooden posts, some of which are superimposed on the small Romanesque bays, and evokes a barn rather than a religious building. The three vessels of the choir, relatively partitioned and of a rustic construction, are separated by large flamboyant arcades, resulting from a rework during the first half of the 16th century. Of the original architecture, only the window networks, partly incomplete, and the remains of the supports remain. The present rib vaults are purely functional and do not reflect any particular style. The church of Saint-Félix has been registered as a historical monument since November 30, 1960. It is now affiliated with the parish of Sainte-Claire de Mouy, and Sunday masses are celebrated there only two or three times a year, on Saturdays at 6:30 pm.
