===Religious heritage=== [[File:Baccarat eglise.JPG|thumb|The Church of Saint-Rémy]] The commune has several religious buildings and structures that are registered as historical monuments: *The '''Chapel of Saint Anne''' at 6 Rue des Cristalleries (1775){{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|IA54001020|IA54001020 Chapel of Saint Anne}} {{in lang|fr}}{{Camera}}</ref> was intended for the use of glassworks staff. It was built as a church annexe for the Deneuvre parish in 1802 and currently it is used for summer exhibitions organized by the Baccarat factory. *The '''Church of Saint-Rémy''' at Au Patis (1954){{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|PA54000078|PA54000078 Church of Saint-Rémy}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> was destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt in modern style. Built by the architect Nicolas Kazis, it is entirely built using the sign of the triangle - the symbol of the Holy Trinity. The bell tower of trihedral shape measures 55 metres in height and houses 3 bells. On each side of the [[Choir (architecture)|choir]] two symmetrical groups represent the [[twelve Apostles]], recognizable by their traditional attributes. Beautiful wrought iron furniture completes the church: two [[stoup]]s with basins in baccarat, a chandelier, 2 separation grills in the [[transept]], the [[Ambon (liturgy)|Ambon]], the [[Church tabernacle|Tabernacle]] with its and crystal panels, and a baptistery at the foot of the cross with a wooden Christ. There are two other statues in the lateral [[nave]]s: Saint Remy and a Virgin and Child (Our Lady of the Offering) by François Brochet. The side aisles have sculptures of reconstituted stone and Baccarat crystal representing the 14 Stations of the Cross. A wonderful ceiling (the most beautiful of its kind in Europe) is composed of 130 laminated timber elements which weigh 19 tons. At the entrance of the church a pipe organ by Jacquot Lavergne was installed in the gallery in 1958 with 3 keyboards and pedals and 40 registers. The organ has 3,660 pipes. The church contains two items that are registered as historical objects: **A [[Ciborium (container)|Ciborium]] (No. 3) (19th century){{Palissy Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Palissy {{Palissy|IM54009564|IM54009564 Ciborium No. 3}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> **48 [[Stained glass]] windows: The Apostles and Calvary (1957){{Palissy Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Palissy {{Palissy|IM54002454|IM54002454 48 Stained glass windows: The Apostles and Calvary}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> The panels are composed of 4,000 glass tiles 2.5 cm thick cut into 20,000 small pieces of Baccarat crystal fitted in concrete. The colourful set uses over 150 colours which makes it unique in the world. ;Other religious sites of interest *The '''Chapel of Saint Christopher''' (12th century) has some statues. *The '''Chapel of Saint Catherine''' (17th century) *'''Chapel of Our Lady of Deliverance''' (19th century) *'''Chapel of Our Lady of Humbépaire''' (1948) is illuminated by 20 stained glass panels by Gabriel Loire, a carillon of 6 Paccard bells is installed in the belfry. *Remains of the '''[[Carmelite]] Convent''' (15th century) *The '''Church of Saint Joseph of Badmenil''' was restored in 2012. <gallery> File:Baccarat chapelle christal.JPG|Chapel of Saint Anne File:Baccarat humbepaire.JPG|Chapel of Our Lady of Humbépaire File:Baccarat ste catherine.JPG|Chapel of Saint Catherine File:Baccarat nd delivrance.JPG|Chapel of Our Lady of Deliverance File:Badmenil eglise.JPG|Church of Saint-Joseph of Badmenil </gallery>
