The church of Samogneux was completely destroyed on 21 February 1916 during the Battle of Verdun. In 1930, it was decided to rebuild it, in the middle of the village, opposite the town hall. The reconstruction was made possible by a generous American donor, Mrs Horace GRAY. The latter was very moved by the book by the writer Henri FREMONT, in which he describes the life of refugees from the Meuse during the First World War. This work was translated and marketed in the United States. The funds raised made it possible to rebuild the church. The building is located near the newly created green route along the Meuse Canal, along the battlefields of the First World War and Verdun. The church contains paintings by Lucien Lantier, a famous reconstruction artist who worked in several rebuilt churches on the battlefield. There is also a bronze statue in tribute to chaplain Mathews Cleveland. The story of this building has a rich history.

Centrally located on the village square you can get refreshment at the water source. Enjoy the peace in this small community of only 300 inhabitants.

If I could tell? Look at me and read my scars. You can find the traces of the Great War in me.

At this location you can find the church of Consenvoye. The beauty of the church behind a block of houses.

The D123 passes through the historic Bois des Corbeaux. The highest point is 293 metres above sea level. In this forest, the traces of the Battle of Verdun are still clearly visible. The Kraaienbos takes its name from one of those episodes in which history, as in Douaumont and Vaux, will later collect a wealth of characteristics of individual or collective heroism. Taken, retaken and lost again on the days of 8, 9 and 10 March, it was a scene of bloody battles and our troops who took part in it showed themselves magnificently under fire. Today, this road is a quiet link between the villages of Marre and Forges-sur-Meuse. Do you have time? Tip: go into the forest and explore for yourself. A couple of kilometres from here, you can admire the powerful Mort Homme Monument.

Villages détruits, Cumières-le-Mort-Homme is one of the nine villages that were destroyed during the Battle of Verdun. Historical context: Nine villages: Beaumont-en-Verdunois, Bezonvaux, Cumières-le-Mort-Homme, Douaumont, Fleury-devant-Douaumont, Haumont-près-Samogneux, Louvemont-Côte-du-poivre, Ornes and Vaux-devant-Damloup. They were all in the “Red Zone” of the front line in the Battle of Verdun. The villages were wiped off the map and never rebuilt. Erected chapels remind passers-by of this war horror.
