4 rue de l'église, 51700 Châtillon-sur-Marne

Marne
Grand Est

Place of birth of the pope Urbain II, Châtillon contains since 1887 a colossal statue of 33 metres representing this famous character. Of the pope Urbain II, Eudes of Châtillon in civilian life, let us hold(retain) that he(it) preached the first crusade towards Jerusalem in 1095 and imposed two weekly days of God's Truce in armed fights. The church Notre-Dame dates the XVIth century.
