オリグニー・サント・ベノワのおすすめツーリングルート

an absolute must... unfortunately I couldn't go in and see the windows from the inside.

The Église Saint-Martin et Sainte Anne de Macquigny is one of the westernmost fortified churches in the region and is often considered part of the Thiérache. Built in the 12th century, it still retains elements of the original Romanesque structure, such as the south wall with two now bricked-up arcades and a simple entrance with the date "1501" indicating the fortification of the tower. The building has imposing buttresses and unique watchtowers with loopholes and machicolations. The choir was restored in 1754 and inside are 15th century baptismal fonts, a 16th century wooden statue of Christ and stained glass windows by master glassmaker Carl Mauméjean. Although the church is usually closed to the public, guided tours are organised by the municipality from April to September.
