BETZ National Necropolis

Well kept monument

At the tip of the fortified spur of Crépy-en-Valois, the former Saint-Arnoul priory (founded in the 10th century, which became a Benedictine abbey and then an important Cluniac priory in 1076) suffered heavy damage during the Hundred Years' War, particularly during the sack of 1434. Of the church, the necropolis of the Counts of Valois, the western wall of the crypt and that of the north aisle remain, revealing a remarkable Romanesque vocabulary (acanthus leaf capitals, Carolingian traditions). Enhanced since 1964, the complex still retains the 12th-century stoker's room, the superb chapter house and the eastern gallery of the cloister.

This asphalt track is great for beginners as well as those looking for speed, whether on foot, by bike, in a stroller or in a wheelchair.

The Saint Pondron church dates from the 12th and 13th centuries. It combines Romanesque and Gothic elements, such as the walls of the old nave, the square choir, the side bell tower and the flamboyant chapel. You can admire the stone heads carved on the corbels, the original stained glass windows and the covered well in front of the portal. Don't miss this charming example of rural architecture in the Automne Valley.

Historic monuments classified in 1992 but protected since 1920. Gothic in style, it dates from the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century, reusing the side walls of an old Romanesque church from the beginning of the 12th century.

The Collegiate Church of St. Thomas of Canterbury is one of the city's splendors. This ancient Gothic-style church, deconsecrated during the Revolution, has since suffered extensive damage.
