Another very beautiful fortified church

At the height of Neuve-Maison, in the direction of Guise

St. Peter's Church is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. It is characterized by its gigantic proportions, sumptuous decorations and sculptures. One of the most remarkable features of the church is its dome, which is the largest dome in the world. The dome was designed by Michelangelo and it measures 43 meters in diameter and 136 meters high. The interior of the church is also remarkable. The nave is wide and bright, and it is lined with side aisles. The choir is deep and narrow, and it is topped by a dome. The church also houses a number of valuable works of art, including a gilded bronze canopy, a papal throne and a papal altar.

Very quiet, wooded and well-developed cycle path. I'll be back 👍

Viewpoint with bench and binoculars overlooking the vast surroundings.

Chimay, before being known for its superb castle, its monastic life, and its famous beer, is above all a forest town. The town is located in a clearing overlooking the Ardennes forest. It is at the Notre-Dame de Scourmont Abbey that the Trappist Cistercian monks make beer and cheese.

View of the castle.

Interesting and worth seeing old town of Chimay.
