Nephew of French priest who served across Michigan during the Civil War embarks on memorial tour

The great-nephew of Belgian priest Charles Lemagie is embarking on a world tour, following in his ancestor's footprints during his time as a Confederate missionary between 1854 and 1882.

The French priest Father Charles Lamagie was sent to replace a priest in the Great Lakes Region serving with the Confederate forces under the Union flag, according to the Mater Dolorosa Catholic Chuch in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"Father Lemagie carried out the directions of Archbishop Odin for the recitation of prayers for peace, and conducted Forty Hours' Devotion, also for the same intention. Prayers were also said in 1863, for the success of the Confederate forces, as requested by President Jefferson Davis," according to Mater Dolorosa Catholic Church.

Bruno Lemagie, a surviving family member of Father Charles Lemagie, will begin his journey in France on Tuesday, traveling for two months to Belgium, Canada, and several locations in the Great Lakes region to Louisiana.

Lemagie's journey will be the fuel for his second book inspired by his family's history, following "Oublié de Dieu" published in 2018 .

In a news release on Friday, Lemagie said he will travel strictly by public transportation and seek housing with locals and in parishes, a "real adventure."

Once crossing the Atlantic, Lemagie makes stops across Michigan in Detroit, Dearborn, Ypsilanti, Marquette, and L'Anse before hitting Wisconsin cities Green Bay, Appleton, Holand Town, Maple Grove, New London, Manawa, and Waupaca.

During his time in Michigan Lemagie will visit the Dearborn Historical Museum, where Father Charles Lemagie officiated in 1859 for 13 months until January 1860.

"At the beginning of autumn, an unexpected event will call him to Dearborn. As he is the only pastor on this part of the coast and stationed not far from there," reads Oublié de Dieu. "Father Charles is in charge of the funeral service and succeeds him as director of the small community of Saint-John."

This $6M Oregon Chateau Is Like a Permanent French Vacation in the Pacific Northwest

The word “chateau” brings to mind a nobility-owned manor somewhere in France.

But you don’t have to travel abroad to enjoy that lifestyle. This chateau-inspired spread includes two connected houses on more than 68 acres in West Linn, OR , a suburb of Portland . It’s listed for $6 million.

And in case it’s not obvious, Europe is built right into this regal residence.

“It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before,” insists listing agent Kristen Kohnstamm , with Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty. “The floors are imported from Europe. There are artifacts throughout the house, including hardware and doors that are from various countries. … It’s just an incredible artist’s creation.”

(August Gilges/ Mark Coffin)

10 years to build

Although it was completed in the last five years, the project was a decade in the making.

Kohnstamm says the place was finished in 2019, but the guesthouse dates back to the late 1980s or early 1990s.

Both houses total 13,023 square feet, with six bedrooms in the chateau and another four in the guesthouse. There are two complete kitchens and 10 full bathrooms.

The owner “absolutely loves European history and chateaux, and that was what she wanted to recreate,” Kohnstamm explains.

Separate yet connected

The two homes are distinct but are linked inside and have separate outside entrances.

“The powder-blue kitchen really is the connector between the two buildings,” Kohnstamm says. “You go through a kind of grandiose double door that is an antique from Europe, and that brings you into the original main house.”

A rooftop terrace with a rounded window is also part of the connector.

Kohnstamm says local Oregon artisans created items like custom curtain rods, railings, and more that dovetail with the owners’ treasures and vision for the place.

“I think really it was a place to put all these things that they’d collected over the years,” she notes. “I believe there are 78 chandeliers, and all but one are from Europe.”

Wedding destination

The picture-perfect Chateau de Harpe, named for the owner’s family, has an event permit and hosts at least a dozen weddings each year.

“The owners wanted to create an event space where they could invite others to enjoy the property,” Kohnstamm says.

Now that they’ve succeeded in their palace project, the owners are ready to part with the property.

The land is designated for agricultural use and currently cannot be subdivided. But befitting a landed chateau, perhaps the next buyer would want to start a vineyard, Kohnstamm suggests.

“I think [the perfect buyer] is someone who wants a destination location that can accommodate extended family and friends and loves to get people together,” she says.
