The reconstruction of Notre-Dame, consecrated in 1928, was designed by Swiss architect Albert Montant—who also designed the church of Canny-sur-Matz. Albert Montant was an excellent connoisseur of medieval architecture, and the building, constructed of brick with some stone elements, contains numerous references to Romanesque architecture, revisited here with great originality and sensitivity. The plan features a bell tower porch, a single nave, and a choir with side aisles, culminating in an apse framed by two apsidioles. Each section has its own distinctive features. The bell tower porch—which echoes that of the previous church—opens with a semicircular arched portal with three arches resting, on each side, on as many small columns via cubic capitals. Three small, offset windows open above, and a gable crowns the whole. Instead of the traditional gallery, the bell tower porch forms, inside, a richly lit lantern crowned by a four-sided dominion vault. Of Carolingian origin, the lantern tower enjoyed great popularity in Anglo-Norman architecture and beyond, as evidenced by the one at Laon Cathedral. The nave has three bays with semicircular barrel vaults. Its two transverse arches are supported by abacuses surmounting consoles, a device intended to house statues, now missing. The choir is covered with a barrel vault that closes in a cul-de-four at the apse. Eleven small semicircular windows penetrate this vault, the base of which is highlighted by a continuous cordon of billets. Three semicircular arches resting on circular piers provide access to the side aisles, each covered with a semicircular barrel vault. This entire ensemble clearly draws its inspiration from the Romanesque architecture of Berry and Auvergne. In the nave, we notice six stained-glass windows by Blanchet-Lesage (1959) on the themes of Faith, Charity, Hope, Prudence, Justice, and Strength (2008).

This cemetery was created in 1920 by the French State, which brought together in one place the graves of 49 military cemeteries or military squares of communal cemeteries. It houses 6,545 remains of soldiers including 3,755 in individual graves, 126 of which are unidentified and 2,790 in two ossuaries, 116 of which are unidentified. The tombs are materialized by stone crosses. More than 2,000 soldiers killed from the winter of 1914 to the summer of 1916 lie in this cemetery. However, the vast majority of the graves are those of soldiers who fell during the Battle of the Kaiser in the spring of 1918 and the Hundred Days Offensive led by the Allies from the summer of 1918. Against the east wall of the cemetery, near the entrance, a commemorative plaque pays homage to Richard von Heydebreck who died on June 12, 1918. A monument erected inside the necropolis pays homage to the German and French soldiers who fell near Liancourt - Pit in 1915, about ten kilometers away. Wikipedia
