The fortified church of Bancigny was built in the 15th century, has two round towers flanking the entrance and served as a defensive structure during the armed conflicts of the time. You will be able to admire the contrast between the gray stone and the red brick, as well as the asymmetry of the height of the towers. The church is dedicated to Saint-Nicolas and has a Romanesque baptismal font. You can also enjoy views of the surrounding countryside and the neighboring village of Plomion, which has another impressive fortified church.
