A real technical innovation, the Florentine Tower housed the depot’s signal box. 48.87 m high and equipped with a lightning rod, it was erected in concrete (500t) and red bricks (100t), although with some ceramic embellishments. Its square base occupies an area of 49 m2, its rectangular spindle is divided into five floors linked together by a metal staircase and topped by a room of 30 m2 (7.3 mx4.1 m). This room, which offers a panoramic view, supports, via a concrete trapezoid, a cube whose side faces were each decorated with a clock 3.20 m in diameter. They have now disappeared.

Locomobile No. 3003, which can be seen at the entrance to the town of Buire and the former railway depot, was manufactured in 1900 by the construction engineer Emile Salmson.

The disaster occurred on the night of March 11 to 12, 2014: the Saint-Benoîte church in Lerzy caught fire while a roofer was working there during the day. A simple “accident” which destroyed a large part of the building, only half sparing the keep. More info: https://eglises-fortifiees-thierache.net/fr/oise-fr/lerzy/

A first church was probably built there as early as the 12th century. Nothing can be seen of it anymore, although the lower parts of the watchtowers at the corners of the east facade may still belong to the original building.
