This medieval gate, built in the 13th century, was part of the impressive fortifications of Coucy-le-Château, a town once famous for its castle and its motto: "I am neither king, nor prince, nor count, I am the lord of Coucy ". The Porte de Laon is a massive structure with two round towers and an arched passage, defended by a drawbridge, a double portcullis and a barbican. You can admire the architecture and military devices of this ancient bastion, as well as the panoramic view of the city and the surrounding countryside.

Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique is a commune in the French department of Aisne and has 995 inhabitants. The place is part of the Laon arrondissement. Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique, named after the castle of Coucy, together with the neighboring commune of Coucy-la-Ville, formed the center of the barony of Coucy, which played an important role in French history. The feudal and powerful barons, who always called themselves "Sire de Coucy" and rejected higher titles under the motto "Roi ne suis Ne prince ne duc ne comte aussi; Je suis le sire de Coucy", dominated the area north of Paris. After the death of the last baron, the domain became part of the Duchy of Orléans, appanage of the brother of the French king and his descendants. In 1792 the area was seized by the French state. The huge keep of the castle, the largest medieval keep, was blown up by the German army in the First World War.

GET TO KNOW THE CHÂTEAU DE COUCY The castle of a powerful family. In 1214, Enguerrand III de Coucy took part in the victory of the Battle of Bouvines, near Lille, the first major European battle and cement of nascent national feeling. In the 14th century, Enguerrand VII de Coucy, a great diplomat, turned it into a sumptuous palace. A decor that survives its disappearance. The first known representation of the iconographic theme of the Neuf Preuses, sculpted on a monumental fireplace fitted out in Coucy by Louis d'Orléans around 1400 and published in the 16th century by Androuet du Cerceau, inspired in the 19th century the architect Viollet-le-Duc to realize the fireplace in the great room of the Château de Pierrefonds. Four centuries of destruction. Dismantled in 1652, the castle was used as a stone quarry until its acquisition by Louis-Philippe in 1829, then by the State in 1848. Several architects, including Viollet-le-Duc, succeeded each other to preserve the ruins. During the First World War, the four towers and the keep were destroyed by the German army.

Les origines de l’Église Saint-Sauveur remontent au xiie siècle (partie centrale de la façade, portail style roman. Remaniée à plusieurs reprises, détruite en 1917, classée « Monument Historique », l’Église Saint Sauveur a été reconstruite à l’identique. Les magnifiques vitraux de facture moderne ont été créés par Mazetier et Delange en 1936. Ils constituent une bible en image avec l’Ancien et le Nouveau Testament. Un vitrail, celui de Jean, a participé à l’exposition universelle de Paris en 1937. Deux vitraux rappellent l’histoire de Coucy, d’Enguerrand II et de ses enfants égarés… La faible luminosité est due à la teinte grise des vitraux, émaillée de couleurs vives, qui s’illuminent sous le soleil. Elle traduit le passage de l’ombre à la lumière. Les fonts baptismaux romans du xie siècle sont remarquables. Ils sont sculptés dans du marbre noir veiné de bleu. Les sculptures, finement ciselées, représentent des motifs végétaux, des petits animaux, des personnages et de très jolis visages. Le chœur et le transept de l’église datent du xiiie siècle et n’ont pas été détruit en 1917. L’ajout du 2e transept et des 2 collatéraux au xvie siècle en font une « église halle ». À noter : l’architecture très riche des 3 voûtes et l’alternance de piles fortes et faibles dans la nef. Les chapiteaux de style gothiques inspirés de l’Art Roman représentent des plantes, des fruits, des petits animaux, mais cachent parfois quelque chose d’insolite à découvrir… Le Chemin de Croix réalisé par Hector de Pettigny en 1950 est une fresque moderne sur ciment. Les teintes employées restent douces et ne correspondent pas à l’agressivité des souffrances. Autres éléments remarquables : le retable en bois sculpté, les 2 autels, l’orgue, la chaire. Campée à l’extrémité de l’éperon rocheux et proche de la Tour de la Porte de Soissons, l’Église Saint-Sauveur offrait une vue dominante sur la plaine et constituait un point d’appui militaire solidement organisé. C’était une annexe de la célèbre Abbaye de Nogent.

Located in the watchtower of the gate of Soissons, the museum presents two models of the site, weapons, costumes, interpretive signs in French and English, engravings, etc ... It has been labeled "Tourism & Handicap" since 2012 for 4 handicaps. Moreover, through the panoramic terrace, you will discover Coucy if you have never seen it!
