Église Saint-Quentin
10500 Dienville
The church of Saint-Quentin was built from east to west in three campaigns of works. The first (around 1500) concerns the choir and the last two sections of the nave (liturgical choir), which are flamboyant in style. The two western bays were built in the suite, during the third quarter of the 16th century (dates recorded 1558 at the portal and 1575 at the vault); they open through two Renaissance portals. It is a church-hall with a nave with three vessels of four bays (the two bays form a non salient transept); it ends with a pentagonal apse. The church was completed with the erection in 1784 of a massive bell tower on the west facade surmounted by an imperial roof, which lays on a sandstone base. The building underwent two major restorations: in the apse in 1873, and recently in 1998-2000\. The set of contemporary stained glass windows of the construction work of the sixteenth century has been largely preserved until today, although modified. The church and the stained glass windows
