Places and monuments

The church is under the term of St Martin. It skilfully mixes the Romanesque art (nave of the 11th century) and the Gothic art for the remainder with the building. The actual position of the monument is not not ascribable with the 1st world war. When on February 17th, 1910 part of the pillar of the bell-tower crumbled, the municipality of the time has, under a sedentary pretext, ordered the dynamiting of the bell-tower. Thus was made February 23rd and 24th 1910 (and not the 22 and 23 or the 24 and 25 as one can read it in certain press articles). The event made at the time great noise in the regional press and national. He was even reported in front of the National Assembly by the means of Maurice Barrès. If the commission of the historic buildings had not returned in 1915 an unfavorable opinion, the church of Cinqueux would not exist probably any more. A public place has would replace it ..... The rebuilding of the church would not have could be done without the Drouin family. Indeed this family endeuillée by the untimely death of their daughter, Yvonne in March 1919 decides to give the money which would have to return to their daughter for the rebuilding of the church. For this reason Cinqueux keeps the memory through the name of a street of Yvonne Drouin.

The village counts two laundrettes, one located at the place known as salifeux, which was bought then rebuilt entirely by the commune at the beginning of the 19th century. The second laundrette visible in the small valley on the right with leaving Cinqueux towards Angicourt is a creation ex nihilo of the end of the 19th century (1885). It was built for practical reasons, the first laundrette not being easily accessible for the housewives from the time.

An old strong castle formerly crowned the top of the hillock Catiau, " signal" village. Set fire to and plundered at the time of the jacquerie of 1358 it was then demolished by order of Charles VII in 1431.

The old town hall school, of style " Louis philippe" was built in the middle of XIXe. It shows that in Cinqueux the primary education occupies and this since the Old Mode an important place.
