The sight of military cemeteries is always very sad, but we must not forget history.

The Noyon war memorial is a shell-shaped memorial pillar standing on the cathedral forecourt. This monument is the work of architects Eugène Chifflot and René Lefèvre. The monument includes a bas-relief sculpted by Emile Pinchon and illustrating scenes from life in Noyon during and after the conflict. It recalls in particular the hostage-taking of September 29, 1914, the entry of the French on March 18, 1917 and Noyon in ruins in 1918. This war memorial was inaugurated under the aegis of Marshal Joffre on March 22, 1925.

The Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Noyon is an impressive Gothic building in the heart of Noyon, in the Oise department.

The Chapter Library in Noyon is a historic library built in 1506 by Jacques de la Viefville, the dean of Noyon. The library is located on Place Corbault, near the Notre-Dame de Noyon Cathedral.
