Church of Saint Jean Baptiste in Warcq

The church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, located in the centre of the village of Warcq near the river Meuse, has an elongated plan. Its western massing, dating from the early 12ᵉ century, includes a bell tower framed by two chapels, the one to the south of which houses a spiral staircase. The two-vessel Gothic nave was rebuilt between the late 13ᵉ and early 14ᵉ centuries, partially retaining a Romanesque wall to the south. The non-projecting transept and square chancel, flanked by two chapels, date from the early 15ᵉ century, with 16ᵉ century additions, including keystone vaults.

Built of Dom-le-Mesnil and Romery rubble with ashlar chains, the church has walls pierced by bays with Gothic infill and, in the western mass, small round-headed bays. The floor is a combination of geometric tiles and limestone slabs. The west facade features a semi-circular portal topped by an oculus, while the bell tower has geminated bays.

Restorations, particularly in the 20ᵉ century, have consolidated the tower and vaults. The church has a long-sloped roof, with a half-hipped roof over the chancel and a square spire over the bell tower.
