Each cross indicates the function of the warrior.

The Lassigny military cemetery is an impressive and sober memorial site where 1,777 German soldiers from the First World War are buried. The cemetery was created in 1919 by the French military authorities, initially as a Franco-German communal cemetery. Its origins lie in a mass grave from the summer of 1918, in which 55 unknown French soldiers were buried. In 1922, the French bodies were transferred to another cemetery, after which the site was converted into a German military cemetery. The fallen came from more than 27 municipalities in the region, up to 18 km away. In 1977, the cemetery took on its current form, with metal crosses bearing the names and dates of the fallen. A monolithic memorial marks the entrance to the site.

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.

good journey

Please note that the St Martin quarries are closed to the public, even though they are located on a hiking trail. The new owner has recently installed cameras for ticketing purposes...

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")
