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.
Oriented church, Latin cross plan. Preceded by a bell tower, the church consists of a nave with a central aisle and two side aisles.
The origins of the Saint-Sauveur Church date back to the 12th century (central part of the façade, Romanesque style portal). Reworked several times, destroyed in 1917 and classified as a "Historic Monument", the Church of Saint Sauveur was rebuilt identically.
This imposing abbey of Laon was built at the beginning of the 12th century, and Saint Norbert installed 12 canons regular of Prémontré. Basing its wealth notably on the exploitation of the vineyards of the upper town, this abbey was very influential during the medieval period.
According to tradition the abbey was founded under the name of Saint-Vincent in 589 by Queen Brunehaut. The abbey has suffered several destructions in its history, the last of which took place in the 19th century.
