In front of the church there is a large old roof which shades a large square. There you will find a picnic area and a map of hikes in the region.

The church is open to the public and you shouldn't miss it. The interior is magnificent!
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Saint-Pierre-%C3%A8s-Liens_de_Lesmont:

It was built in the 13th century for part of the transept, the rest of the building dates from the 16th century.

In the early days, it depended on the abbey of Montier-en-Der. It was then the possession of both the priest, the abbey of Basse-Fontaine and the lord of Lesmont who shared the tithes.

On February 2, 1814, during the French campaign, Napoleon retreating towards Troyes after the battle of La Rothière, burned the bridge after the passage of his troops. During the battle, cannonballs fell on the church causing much damage and damaging the bell tower. Leaning abnormally and threatening to collapse on the church, it was dismantled in 1857. It was not until 1865 that it was rebuilt after redoing 2 pillars and 2 vaults. We took the opportunity to reinstall the 3 bells, two of which Fanie and Eugénie were recast and remade. The third, Marie Anne, has always been in good health since 1772. The roof of the bell tower was completely redone in 1925. Later, damaged by a storm, it was repaired in 1960. Then further damaged by lightning in 1992, the roof of these bells is completely redone, a lightning arrester is finally installed there.

The church underwent significant restorations at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th.
