Mont César rises to a height of 138 meters on the left bank of the Thérain River, near the hamlet of Froidmont, in the municipality of Bailleul-sur-Thérain, in the Oise department. The hill, which overlooks the valley and surrounding marshes, has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and was likely a Gallo-Roman oppidum on an ancient, fortified Gallic camp. Archaeological excavations carried out since the 18th century have unearthed numerous objects and remains of fortifications. During excavations conducted in 1878 by Isidore Berton, Gallic coins and various objects from the Roman period were discovered. Want to know more?

The current church was built in 1803 on the site of the old church. It was restored in 1842. The bell, cast in Douai in 1862, bears the name of its godmother: Aimée Charlotte Henriette de Richoufftz. Its baptismal name, like many bells in our villages, was given after a blessing. It was installed in the steeple, built of cut stone, in 1874, thanks to the generosity of the Richoufftz family. The sound of the bell punctuated rural life and informed the inhabitants of certain events, announcing the dangers, joys, or sorrows of daily life. The church's stained-glass windows feature the Richoufftz family crest: three gold stag heads on a blue background. Manin Castle, built in 1745, is located behind the church.

To think that soldiers took refuge behind the church and left a trace of themselves for our freedom 🕊️ by leaving us these graffiti. It is my duty of memory to create a must-see on this place full of history to honor them and to show them all my gratitude I went to the grave of one of them killed in Bouchoir on August 9, 1918 (Somme) a few months before the armistice. William David Boag 21 years old 🇨🇦 Never forget 💮. Come and contemplate this place. Thank you Franck.
