Julien Harté
April 19, 2024, Église Saint-Nicaise de Raucourt-et-Flaba

This magnificent building is located in the center of Raucourt-et-Flaba. While its parish would have been founded in the year 400. The Saint-Nicaise church dates from 1061. The work has retained its appearance of the time, despite restorations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Inside, there are three altars and a remarkable baptismal font made up of a carved Givet stone tank.

The Grand church is worth a stop. It offers a curious contrast between the massive tower of its facade and its delicate bell tower.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “cenotaph” or “war memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. Many places and monuments that you encounter along the way are a testament to the horror of war and tyranny - which is still significant and relevant today. They all have, and this is new for each generation, two essential functions: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Call for the preservation of peace

The Castle of Grandpré is located in Grandpré, in the Ardennes, France. It was built by the Joyeuse, Counts of Grandpré, at the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century. For a long time, the place has been strategically located on the northern slope of the Aire valley, controlling one of the rare passages that cross the Argonne forest. This is the Grandpré passage.

Located within the fortification built from the 10th century overlooking the town, this massive church was built in 1346 by the Lords of Apremont. After centuries of conflict, it remains today the only surviving monument in the upper town. Classified as a historical monument, this jewel of ogival architecture has an organ case and rich 18th century furniture, as well as two masterful sculptures by the contemporary artist Ipoustéguy: the "Death of Bishop Neumann" and the "Christ" . This building is part of the European “Open Churches” network.
