Saint-Jacques et Saint-Philippe church

The Saint-Jacques et Saint-Philippe church is one of the most beautiful wooden churches in Champagne. Its construction probably dates back to the first half of the 16th century. The most surprising feature is the continuous ceiling in panelling, beautifully decorated with diamond-shaped feet. The stained glass window in the central round window represents the donor and his wife. Dating from the 16th century, this stained glass window is the work of the Troyes glass painting workshops.
