Main Square of Chimay
Highlight • Settlement
In plan, the church includes a central nave of five bays bordered by narrower aisles onto which open an equal number of chapels installed between the buttresses. The oriented choir (1250), with a flat apse, comprises four bays, it is part of the architecture in use in Laonnais and Soissonnais. The rest of the building belongs to the Hainaut Gothic style characterized by great sobriety (15th century).
In the choir, we can still see a high altar in colored marble, a taulet from the end of the 15th century and the funeral plaques of the last two princely families.
The beautiful mausoleum of Charles de Croÿ, godfather of Charles V, 1st Prince of Chimay (died in 1527) is decorated with a superb alabaster recumbent figure.
The bulbous bell tower surmounting the tower erected from 1732 to 1742 houses a unique carillon. A real bell piano with a small keyboard, it has the particularity of not having an E flat. It has a total of 26 bells, the oldest of which dates from the 17th century.
