Église Saint-Nicolas
Place de l'église, 08300 Rethel
Former church of a priory dissolved in 1740\. The nave and the lower north side date from the 13th century, the southern portal of flamboyant Gothic style from the beginning of the 16th century and the bell tower of 1614.
Burned in 1940, the soaked vaults collapsed on January 1, 1941 under the effect of freezing. In 1941, during the war, and after the war, the restoration work was carried out under the direction of Y-M Froidevaux, chief architect of the Monuments historiques. The construction lasted a long time and the large square tower of the church did not find its roof again until the late 1960s, the bells being replaced only in 1962.
