3 reviews of Oradour Church

Shocking

This is the old church of Oradour sur Glane. Now they are building another church, more modern and with a nice little design, on the opposite hill, where the modern town of Oradour is located. But this old church will never be destroyed to commemorate the tragedy of Oradour. On June 1944. At noon, the German army arrived in the village, and forced the entire village into the church. No one knows why that day, they wanted revenge, but the 642 people who were not currently working in the field were burned alive in the church. It's a place the stays with you, very shocking. It has no roof, the walls are all burned.
