The Church of Purity

Roof and choir

The roof vaults were painted by Louis Dorigny in 1727, with scenes from the Old Testament on the left and the New Testament on the right, while the small dome is decorated with a representation of the Holy Father and the angles in glory. In 1966, these scenes were repainted by Fred Pittino after the church sustained damages in 1945 due to WWII events.

The two large canvasses in the choir represent The Triumph of the Liberation of Christ and Christ the Victor of Hell and Death. The vault frescoes represent Jesus in the Desert, Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and Angels, who are carrying the symbols of the Passion, all these works are made by Louis Dorigny (1720).

The wooden choir dates back to the 17th century.
