Église Saint-Hilaire

12 Place Carnot, 08600 Givet

Ardennes

Grand Est

In 832, a church bearing the name of Saint-Hilaire already existed on this site. It paid homage to the bishop of Poitiers, patron saint of merchants. Destroyed in 1675 by the marshal of Créqui, it was rebuilt on plans of Vauban in 1682\. The nave and the choir were completed in 1702.
Inside, beautiful woodwork from the 18th century, representing the Franciscan order, comes from the old church of the Recollets. The stained glass windows were redone in 1970.
Today, one can admire the new stained glass windows thanks to the Association of Friends of the Religious Heritage Givetois and the financial support of the municipality.
