Over de locatie

Église Saints-Cyr-et-Juliette

32 Rue d'Hirson, 02550 Origny-en-Thiérache, France

Aisne

Hauts-de-France

The church of Saint-Cyr and Sainte-Julitte owes its name to two Christian martyrs, a son and a mother, from the 4th century. It was built on a mound in the middle of the old fort of Origny, and destroyed by the terrible invasion of the count of Hainaut, in 1185. Its reconstruction was undertaken thanks to the donations of Lady Ameline de Guise between 1185 and 1200, and a defensive keep was added. The latter is an imposing rectangular tower, covered with a hip roof. It was topped by a high arrow that collapsed in 1810. This feudal donjon often served as a shelter for the inhabitants during the cruel wars that followed one another in the 16th and 17th centuries.
