Church of Saint-Sauveur, Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique

In 1136 the church of Sainte Geneviève was founded. The building was burnt down during the 16th century, then rebuilt and looted during the Revolution.

The abbey was destroyed in 1567 at the beginning of the Wars of Religion, partially rebuilt in 1630 before being razed to the ground to the ground to the crypt in 1793. The crypt extended as far as under the eastern high altar and is 30 m wide. Dating is uncertain, but first mention of the crypt in 1079.

Construction began in 1176. In 1212 the choir, part of the transept (later modified) and part of the last bay of the nave were completed. The nave and facade thus date mainly from the 13th century. Construction and modifications continued in the following years, interrupted by the Hundred Years' War. In 1479, Bishop Jean Milet dedicated the church. The chapels of Saint-Paul, Saint-Augustin and Sacré-Coeur were added in the 18th century.
