Half-timbered, fortified or of Romanesque style, the country churches of Champagne-Ardenne have a variety of features that are well worth mentioning.
Half-timbered…
In the Great Lakes region of southern Champagne, there is a grouping of religious buildings unlike any other in France: ten churches and a chapel built entirely of timber and wattle and daub, between the late 15th and the 18th centuries.
Fortified...
In the north west of the Ardennes, it is the fortifications which give the region's religious architecture its unusual specificity: square keeps, corner towers and watchtowers adorn the churches.
or Romanesque
The Ardres Valley, the Massif de Saint-Thierry and the north west of Haute Marne are well known for their concentration of original Romanesque churches.
