The village played an important role during the First World War. It was occupied on 30 August 1914 and was the scene of fierce fighting during the “Race to the Sea” and again during the Battle of Matz in June 1918. The village was badly damaged and was awarded the Croix de Guerre for its suffering and courage.

After the devastation of the First World War, a new church dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption was built in Fresnières in 1929-1930. Its architecture reflects the spirit of the time: a combination of neo-Romanesque forms and Art Deco elements. The round arched windows and the barrel vault in the nave refer to the classical Romanesque style, while the mosaic portal and the straight lines of the bell tower clearly reveal the influence of Art Deco. Above the portal, a fresco with a historical inscription dating back to the time of Louis XIV is a subtle reminder of the long history of this place.

Small rural village in the department of the Somme. The main historical site is the church of Saint Martin, originally from the 17th century. It was badly damaged during the First World War, but was restored from 1926 onwards. A new bell was inaugurated in 1932

The Théâtre de Roye has a modern architecture that combines functionality and aesthetics. The building is designed with a superstructure, where a new 400-seat theatre hall is placed on top of the existing building.

You made me want to take a trip there soon. Thanks Leo

The Château de Boulogne is unlike any other. With an architecture drawing its inspiration from history and esotericism, it was born in the imagination of Charles de Boulogne (1864 - 1940), a rich Belgian landowner who purchased the title of Count and who undertook the construction of the castle in 1896 on the remains of the Lancry family castle. For 25 years, he put all his energy and his fortune into creating his 'Great Work', a philosopher's residence, a castle of Mysteries which unfortunately was largely destroyed during the Battle of Matz in 1918. For his fellow citizens, Count Charles de Boulogne was the builder of a spooky residence. An incomprehensible man, a little crazy, an “enlightened person”? And yet the sentence he had engraved on the portal gives us the key: “Sortis patiens esto nulli clauderis honesto” ("Be patient, nothing is closed to an honest man")
