Eglise Saint Denis à Chézy-en-Orxois

Construction of the church began in 1548, the year following the end of the reign of François 1er, and was completed in 1628. A tall, imposing bell tower dominates the edifice. With its blind storeys, it features a pair of buttresses at each corner of its walls, which are also fitted, as befits the top of the building, with a watchtower. This tower conceals the other elements of the building, notably the nave with side aisles, which is extended by a raised choir, both of which are pierced by tall, wide windows with tormented mullions, characteristic of the late Gothic or flamboyant period. This 15th-century church is a listed building.
