[FR] Il fallait attendre le milieu du 19ème siècle pour que de nouvelles cloches soient installées (visibles aujourd’hui dans le jardin Offenbach rue Cartault).

Jusqu’en 1934, l’église bénéficie de remises en état périodiques. A partir de cette date, le clergé ayant obtenu la construction, rue Lucien Voilin, d’un édifice plus vaste, l’état de l’Eglise Notre-Dame-de-Pitié ne cesse de se dégrader jusqu’à sa fermeture au public en juillet 1946. Les restes de son clocher en ruines sont détruits en 1949.

[EN] The bells were not replaced until the middle of the 19th century. They are now visible in the Offenbach park on rue Cartault.

The upkeep of the church was assured until 1934 when the clergy, having constructed a much larger church along rue Lucien Voilin, allowed the condition of the church to deteriorate leading to its closure to the public in 1946. The remains of the bell tower in ruins were destroyed in 1949.
