Places and monuments

  • Church Saint-Christophe , property of the commune, classified as “Historic building” by decree of September 9th, 1908 (already classified since 1840).
Builds in XIIe and XVIe centuries (one of the only Romance churches of the district of Abbeville), this building was formerly a church priorale depend on the abbey bénédictine of Breteuil (Oise). The gate of XIIe century, protected by a hood out of frame from XVIe century, presents a tympanum showing Christ in the middle of the Tétramorphe (notation symbolic of the 4 Evangelists).

Description of the tympanum : Jesus, sitted, raises the hand doite to bless of 2 drawn up fingers (meaning its divine and human duality). He holds in the left hand the Bible and has with his feet 2 animals lying which very symmetrically turn the head towards him: on its line, the lion (attribute of Holy Marc), and on its left, the ox (of Holy Luc). The eagle (figure of Holy Jean) is above the lion, and the angel (or the man, indicating Saint Matthieu) flies over ox. The reasons on the right for Christ are relatively more precise and more detailed than those on its left (probable consequence of the erosion of the stone): wings of the eagle and the lion, as well as the book which they hold between their legs are still perfectly recognizable.

A cornice with Modillon S illustrated decorates the Western frontage and bays with the gouttereaux walls of the Nef.

  • Monument-with-Deaths: Drawn up the church below, it is of sober and modern invoice.

  • Town hall-school , having the characteristic to present in frontage the mention of the words Class, Teacher, Town hall .
