Vigneux-Hocquet is dominated by the Saint-Martin church, this imposing martial-looking building protected the population during the 16th century. It has now found a renovated interior and allows the visitor to meditate, imagining the disorders of past centuries. The Tree of Jesse - in the form of a carved beam or "Beam of Glory" - is very rare in France! Restored, it shines and is worth a detour! (https://www.tourisme-thierache.fr)

Small place to turn to yourself 😊

The phenomenon of fortified churches and farms is typical of the Thiérache region. In the 16th century, the churches took over the role of protecting the population against the conquests of the French and the actions from Flanders. With cattle and all, people were sometimes locked up for weeks.

The Sint-Niklaaskerk is a very beautiful model of a fortified church on a spacious square with a music kiosk. The exterior is warlike in appearance, with a large square portico tower, dotted with embrasures, above the western portal, brick watchtowers at the corners of this tower, and other watchtowers on the arms of the transept. The walls of the tower are 3 m thick at the base and are made of quartz slate. The choir is equipped with a gatehouse that further reinforces the defensive vocabulary of this construction. The church was built at the end of the 17th century. After the previous one was burnt down by the Spaniards in 1636.

Another superb church and a beautiful town hall.
