Sainte-Barbe de Gernelle chapel

The church has a monumental organ, said to have come from the collegiate church of Saint Pierre de Mézières. Notre-Dame church is located in the centre of the village. It has an elongated plan. The six-bay, three-vessel nave is preceded by a western section comprising the bell tower flanked by two chapels, the right-hand chapel of which houses the spiral staircase. The choir consists of a straight bay and a semicircular apse with a polygonal volume. The sacristy is set in the corner formed by the choir and the left side aisle. The building is built of schist rubble, but the quoins, bays and cornices are of Dom-le-Mesnil ashlar. The floor of the nave is covered with large limestone slabs and that of the choir (as well as the liturgical choir which extends into the last bays of the nave) with a checkerboard pattern of veined black and grey marble tiles. The inside faces of the walls are plastered. The walls are pierced with semi-circular windows. The main façade, with its ordered elevation, features three semi-circular portals framed by Tuscan pilasters: the smaller side portals are each topped by an oculus and open gables in the shape of a gendarme's hat, and the central portal by three levels of semi-circular bays. The central nave is covered by a false barrel vault supported by large depressed barrel arches with Tuscan columns; the side aisles are covered by false rib vaults.
Situated to the south and outside the village, the small rectangular building backs onto the cemetery wall. It is built of rubble stone with an ashlar chain and covered by a slate pavilion roof. The main facade is completely open and enclosed by a wrought iron gate; this part is protected by a small canopy that extends over the roof.
