The Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Plessis-de-Roye is an exceptional example of reconstruction architecture with a deeply symbolic meaning. Originally built in the first half of the 15th century, the church was almost completely destroyed during the First World War. It was rebuilt between 1930 and 1932 by the architect André Collin, who deliberately chose to leave the nave unfinished. This gave the church the character of a small cloister — a powerful symbol of loss and remembrance of the devastation of war.
