Fortified Church of Saint-Nicolas of Signy-le-Petit

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Saint Martin Church

Highlight • Religious Site

This church is built in yellow Ardennes stone. It has a portico tower, square at the entrance, and two cylindrical towers at the corners of the chancel. The 16th century church underwent several renovations to strengthen it, changing its architectural plan. The oldest part is located in the center. On the west a rectangular portico tower was added, and on the east, the other end, a kind of broad keep was connected to the body of the church, with a roof overhanging the roof of the central body, and round towers, of which there are two remain. Of these battlemented towers, one has embrasures.

Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Hannappes

Highlight • Other

The Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste is a 13th-century church located in Hannappes, France. Often classified among the fortified churches of Thiérache, it has only partially the defensive architecture. However, it still offered the villagers a safe shelter during enemy raids. On the other hand, it stands out for its proportions, its portal, its choir and its transept from the first Gothic period.
