Bois de la Rosière - Resistance 2nd world war

Bois de la Rosière - Resistance 2nd world war

The Bois de la Rosière monument stands on the edge of the wood from which it takes its name, in the commune of Tournes near Charleville-Mézières (Ardennes), where thirteen Resistance fighters were executed without trial on 29 August 1944. On 29 August 1944, a few hours before their departure, the Germans resigned themselves to releasing the patriots held in Charleville prison, Place Carnot, around fifty men and women. But at the insistence of the Gestapo and the French Militia, they decided to shoot some of the hostages beforehand. So it was that the thirteen unfortunates, chosen at random, were taken from their cell and transported by lorry to Rosière Wood (in the commune of Tournes), where they were immediately shot. They had been led to believe that they were going to be freed; among them were two women. The Bois de la Rosière monument was inaugurated on 30 August 1947 in the presence of many prominent members of the Ardennes Resistance and Pierre Schneiter, deputy for the Marne and brother of André Schneiter. The monument was erected on the site of the massacre at the initiative of the commune of Tournes, which had called for public subscriptions. It was designed by Gustave Maily, a sculptor from Reims. It consists of a marble stele erected on the site of a wooden Cross of Lorraine erected the day after the Liberation. Above the names of the thirteen Resistance fighters executed are engraved a Cross of Lorraine and the inscription : ‘Here on 29 August 1944, on the eve of the Liberation, thirteen patriots were shot by the Germans’.

Saint-Luc church in Houldizy

Saint-Luc church, in the centre of the village, has a chancel dating back to the 16th century. In 1843, the nave was enlarged by the addition of side aisles, work carried out by Jean-Louis Nonnon, a carpenter from Renwez. In 1854, the architect Delerue proposed demolishing the Romanesque tower of the bell tower and rebuilding one at the ridge of the nave, with the installation of the bell in 1862. In 1869, the sacristy was built under the supervision of the agent voyer Druart and the mason Jules Drouart. The church also served as a military hospital during the Second World War. The church has an elongated plan and faces north-east. The three-vessel nave has four bays, with an organ loft in the first bay and a spiral staircase in the north-west corner. The chancel comprises two straight bays and a three-sided apse, with a sacristy adjoining the south side and a storeroom on the north side. The timber-framed bell tower is located on the ridge of the nave, on the west side. The building is constructed of limestone rubble and Dom-le-Mesnil ashlar. The interior walls are rendered, and the floor is paved with limestone. The church is single-storey, with round-arched windows in the nave and pointed arches in the chancel. The nave is divided into three naves by Ionic columns. The central nave is covered by a pointed barrel vault, and the side aisles have ceilings. The chancel is rib-vaulted with seven quarters in the apse. The roofs are slate, with long-sloped roofs for the nave and choir, a hipped roof for the apse, long-sloped and hipped roofs for the sacristies, and a polygonal spire on the bell tower.

Church of Saint Lambert de Sécheval

Saint-Lambert church, located in the centre of the village, was completely rebuilt on 12 April 1829, according to plans adopted by the town council. The foundation stone was laid on 19 July 1829 by the Prefect of the Ardennes, Baron de Lascourd. The church, enlarged and fitted with a stone tower for strength, has an elongated plan. The five-bay, three-vessel nave is preceded by a western section comprising the bell tower, an entrance vestibule and two passageways. The chancel comprises a straight bay framed by two storerooms and a polygonal semicircular apse, with the sacristy adjoining. Built of schist rubble with ashlar elements from Dom-le-Mesnil, the interior is rendered, and the floor is paved with a black and white marble chequerboard pattern. The walls are pierced with semi-circular bays. The west facade, adorned with a central semi-circular portal framed by two forebays, includes two side portals with half-moons leading to the side aisles. The bell tower has two identical levels, with a central bay flanked by niches. The side aisles have ceilings, while the nave and chancel have semi-circular vaults, and the apse is covered by a cul-de-four. The slate roof features long-sloped roofs for the nave and the right-hand bay of the choir (with hipped roofs for the side aisles), a polygonal hipped roof for the apse, a long-sloped roof for the sacristy, and an imperial roof topped by a polygonal spire for the bell tower.
