Its choir, dating from the 13th century, is the oldest part and reflects Cistercian influence with its two bays vaulted with ogival ribs and its flat chevet. The ogives, typical of the Gothic art of the time, are reinforced by wall ribs, while a blind arcade adorns the walls. This choir, devoid of a transept, follows the Cistercian tradition where the monks' choir is integrated directly into the nave. The nave and the portal, rebuilt in the 18th century, contrast with the old structure with their more sober and less remarkable style. The high altar, adorned with four Corinthian columns in black marble, bears witness to a later Baroque addition. This mixture of styles illustrates the architectural and liturgical evolutions the building has undergone over the centuries. The history of the church is linked to that of the village, whose lord in the 13th century was the abbey of Saint-Denis de Reims. A notable figure, Jean Mabillon, was born there in the 17th century and was baptized in this church. Classified as a historic monument in 1926, it now embodies a major religious and architectural heritage of the Ardennes, preserved for its medieval choir and its liturgical furnishings. Historical sources also mention bibliographical references, such as the works of Jean Leflon on Jean Mabillon or the studies of Hubert Collin on Ardennes churches. These works highlight the local importance of the building, both spiritually and architecturally, in a region marked by the influence of abbeys and monastic orders in the Middle Ages.

Beautiful cycle path along the canal. Every now and then the path changes sides and the route is sometimes a bit misleading.
