Virtue the Saint Montain [ modifier | Modifier and code ]
According to the archives of the Aisne and the Fère, around 437, a blind hermit called Montan or Montain, evangelizer persecuted by the barbarians, takes refuge in the Wide or Leave Merovingian (La Fère). The merits and virtues of the Solitaire Saint Montain (who had predicted Célinie the birth of his last son, Saint Remi, later became Archbishop of Reims and who baptized Clovis), spread throughout the country and for fifteen years, he attracted many pilgrims.
It still existed in 1897 in the meadow of the “Park”, a source called “Saint-Montain Fosse” where he healed the sick, especially the children. In all likelihood, it was to honor his memory that the Fère church was placed under the patronage of Blessed Saint Montain, and the Saint-Montain feast of May 17 still attracted a crowd of pilgrims at the beginning of XX It is century.

It was undoubtedly at the site of the cave where Montain brought together his disciples, that the Fère church was built at the end of the X It is century under the episcopate of Élinaud, bishop of Laon (the oldest part would be the old portal of this church whose patina dates back to VIII It is And IX It is centuries), up to XVI It is century (we were able to note the mark of 1261 on the foundations).
Here is the description of the old portal of the Émile LECYGNE church, native painter of the Fère, pupil of Ary-Scheffer in a letter of protest in August 1853: “… demolish a portal of XI It is A century, this is this project … The portal of the Saint-Montain de la Fère church is an extremely lowered warhead, approaching a lot of the Romanesque stove, of which it has, moreover, all the character of ornamentation, deceases, zigzags, Chevrons, and which has four small purely romantic columns for supports, but today mutilated. In a word, it is one of the much rarer mixtures than the distinct works of one or the other era. It is a date in the history of architectural art in the Middle Ages and what date! A century of anteriority on Notre-Dame de Paris. This is what we want today to demolish under the pretext that the elevation of the land, it is said, has lowered this vault too much … ” .
In the past, the Saint Montain-Collegiate church included a wooden turret that had to serve as a lookout. It was connected to the very close castle, to reinforce each other defense, often put to the test. The rue de l’Eglise and the rue du Collège each ended in dead end to reach the church. They were separated by the land of the castle and their junction only took place around 1850. In the bell tower of La Fère, from 1618, a watch service was established by day and night, which were subject to all the ecclesiastics of the city. We can see in the church that there is still a murderer.
The bell tower of the Saint-Montain church had been erected in 1588. A century and a half, later, this construction was largely destroyed by the fire of the sky, on the night of the 3 . Later in 1787, a new thunderstorm brought lightning on the steep bell tower, but only caused him a slight degradation at his upper part. Then the French Revolution, which saw in these Altarian pyramids, the domination of religious power, came to destroy, up to the level of the roofs, the bell towers of the Saint-Montain church, the hospital, the Hôtel-Dieu, of the Calvary Abbey and the Saint-Firmin chapel, in the Faubourg of the same name. This work was carried out by a Chaunois named … Montain Soret, invested by revolutionary decree of the . These five bell towers were awarded the same day, , for the total sum of 1 341 books.
Formerly, the archives tell us that the Saint-Montain-Collegiale church included fourteen chapels dedicated to Saint Montain, Marie-Madeleine, Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel, Saint Anne, Notre-Dame du Rosaire, Notre-Dame du Saint-Saint Sépulcre, Saint Martin, Saint Nicolas … Today, there are four left, dedicated to the Virgin, Saint Montain, Saint Joseph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
In 1980, the Beaux-Arts services (with the help of the Fère municipality and the volunteers of the initiative union), undertook repairs at the level of certain sections in poor condition. Fragments of funeral architecture were found there, ex-votos, fractured tombstones, difficult to identify, of characters buried in the church (publication made in 1988 according to the registers of local archives and the departmental registers), reconstitutable tiles , which show the beauty of the chapels in place before the Revolution, an infected of XVI It is century…
