The local church of the United Protestant Church of France, created in 2012-13 from the union of the Reformed Church of France and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of France, has its roots in a history of nearly 500 years. It brings together Christians from the districts of Charleville-Mézières, Rethel and Vouziers.
Built in 1882 according to the plans of a local architect Eugène Bourquin, the building was inaugurated on October 19\. The interior architecture reflects the Reformed theology: bare style, semi-circular choir, central pulpit, sober stained glass windows. The four-bay façade has a carved portal surmounted by a pediment adorned with an open Bible.
After the separation of the Churches and the State, the property of the temple is attributed to the religious association.
