The medieval west facade of the église Notre-dame was reinforced in the 17th century with a heavy rectangular keep with machicolations, battlements, skylights and loopholes. A bas-relief in tête-bêche (honor print) at the entrance depicts Good and Evil. The octagonal tower at the chancel has a staircase to an attic above the chancel.

Château de la Cour des Prés: Upon arrival in the village, admire the garden facade of this castle (1546) on the banks of the Aube on the right. Fortified house consisting of an "L" shaped main building whose front facade is flanked by two round towers, organized around a courtyard open to the gardens and park. Its construction in 1546 by Louis Martin, provost of Rumigny, was encouraged by King François I, in the second line of fortifications along the Meuse, to resist a possible attack by the troops of Charles V.

Located in the heart of the territory of the commune of the Ardennes Thiérache, near the forest of Pothées, it was recognized by the Charter of Milon de Nanteuil in 1208. Crossed by the departmental road 8043 halfway between Charleville-Mézières and Hirson and 10 minutes from the A304 it is a lively town center with various shops, businesses, artisans and services. A dozen sports and cultural associations animate Maubert-Fontaine all year round. Maubert-Fontaine is home to many monuments: Saint Nicholas Church, with inside the war memorial, sculpted by a Mauberian, Henri Migeot; Fountain; the private high school, with its lime tree, which was requisitioned by the Germans as a hospital during the 14/18 war; the war memorial; the Stele of Saint Remi. From this, along the forest alley of the dead girl, we arrive at the crusher where in 1915 the Germans exploited important quarries. Several personalities originating from Maubert-Fontaine have passed through the history of France and their names have been given to certain places: Jardin Bidois, former Jean-Marie Carré college. Other important characters were part of Maubert's story, such as Nicolas de Caruel and Napoleon Bonaparte who came to rest at the Hôtel du Grand Turc on the night of Waterloo. The proximity of the forest allows beautiful walks with certain points of interest: the 2-legged oak and the oak of the Franco-Belgian friendship. In the town you will find various sports facilities for all ages: playground, multi-sports ground, petanque ground, fitness room, sports complex, fishing pond.
