Description

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.
