Superb village

The 17th century Saint-Rémy church is one of the fortified churches of Thiérache. The exterior has this robust appearance that is typical of fortified churches. A fortified square tower is located in the left corner of the nave. It is pierced with cannon and loopholes. The villagers could flee upstairs via a spiral staircase in case of danger. The tower is connected to a raised attic. A well and a bread oven completed the reception system. The tower was accessed via a staircase partly in the nave, partly in the partial round tower attached to it. Powerful buttresses strengthen the structure.

This church is built in yellow Ardennes stone. It has a portico tower, square at the entrance, and two cylindrical towers at the corners of the chancel. The 16th century church underwent several renovations to strengthen it, changing its architectural plan. The oldest part is located in the center. On the west a rectangular portico tower was added, and on the east, the other end, a kind of broad keep was connected to the body of the church, with a roof overhanging the roof of the central body, and round towers, of which there are two remain. Of these battlemented towers, one has embrasures.
