About the location

Église Notre-Dame de l'Assomption

Place de l'église, 55270 Varennes-en-Argonne

Grand Est

The church of Notre-Dame built in the 12th century was listed as a Historical Monument in 1914\. However, it was the battles of the 1914-1918 war that reached the building and lost most of the church’s treasures. The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption will be rebuilt after the war, preserving its original architecture. The furniture will be restored by artists and artisans of the 20th century.
