The Montier-en-Der church was once part of a Benedictine abbey, founded in the 7th century, closed during the French Revolution. The pre-Romanesque nave is among the oldest in France, and the choir is one of the rare examples of Gothic architecture in Champagne.
The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin of Châtillon-sur-Broué is a half-timbered church in the Champagne region. Dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, it has an interesting double bell tower, portico and 19th century stained glass windows.
Built in the 1510s, the Sainte-Croix-en-son-Exaltation church has a variety of roofing materials: the slate bell tower, the flat tile of the nave, the chestnut wood and the slats. The seven windows of the apse and nave, dating from the 19th century, bear the names of their donors.
The Saint-Jean Soulaines-Dhuys chapel, built mostly in the 16th century, is the smallest half-timbered religious building in Champagne. The porch is a later construction from the 18th century.
