The church has witnessed numerous historical upheavals. It suffered severe damage during the Sack of Dinant in 1466 by Philip the Good and again in 1554 when troops of the Duke of Nevers ravaged the town. Each time, however, the church was carefully restored, with significant efforts undertaken in the 19th century under the direction of architects Léopold Schoonejans, Jules-Jacques Van Ysendyck, and Auguste Van Assche. Their work aimed to restore the church to its original 13th-century splendor. In the early 20th century, the First World War brought further devastation. The church was severely damaged but was rebuilt between 1919 and 1923 by architect Chrétien Veraart. The iconic onion-shaped bell tower, often compared by Victor Hugo to a giant water jug, remains a striking feature against the backdrop of the towering cliffs, symbolizing the fragility of human endeavor. Visitors to the Collegiate Church of Our Lady of Dinant are immediately impressed by its splendor. The church stretches 50 meters in length and 30 meters in the transept. The central nave rises to a height of 22 meters, while the side aisles reach approximately 14 meters. Cylindrical columns support the large arcades of the nave, conveying both majesty and simplicity.

a must-see in Dinant

The beautiful and strikingly modern town hall of the Mezières district. The adjacent forecourt was traffic-calmed a few years ago. There's also a drinking water fountain in the southwest corner of the square.

Sedan Castle is one of the largest castles of its kind in Europe, covering 35,000 square meters, and has been a historic monument since 1965. First mentioned in 1306 as a Benedictine monastery, it boasts a wealth of historical interest across seven floors. A gigantic fort—now a major tourist attraction! We were very interested in the history. The castle also has a historic-style restaurant and café—just take a break and enjoy! We really liked Sedan overall.

It is worth cycling to this motorhome parking area and enjoying the beautiful view of Givet and the Charlemont fortress.
