The Notre-Dame de Plomion church is one of the most remarkable fortified churches in the region. Built in brick on the foundations of an old church, it has a large square tower, two round towers, two turrets and more than 60 loopholes. You will be able to admire the geometric patterns of the enameled bricks, such as hearts and diamonds, which decorate the building. The church is open to the public and has an interactive terminal which allows you to discover the upper floors without climbing. You can also see a small prison and a semi-circular dome ceiling.

The fortified church of Plomion is one of the most remarkable in Thiérache. Completely renovated and freely accessible upstairs, since June 25, 2022, it was built in bricks and stands on the foundations of an old church, where a permanent garrison was stationed. This church is the "finished" type of fortress church which includes all the elements of fortification: tower, keep, turrets, watchtowers and a set of more than 60 loopholes including 42 on the keep! Numerous geometric patterns in vitrified bricks such as hearts and diamonds adorn the building.
