Synagogue in Châlons-sur-Marne

Cathedral designed between the 13th and 17th centuries. A fire in the spire in 1668 requires reconstruction, as it destroys the vault by collapsing. Restorations take place in the 19th century.

Initially, the building, dedicated to Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens and whose foundations date back to the 12th century, had only one nave with a barrel vault. In the 16th century, the monks of Charay added a wing to it which houses three chapels: (starting from the choir:) Our Lady of Piety, St. Trinity, founded in 1631 by the Chanaleilhes, lords of the Château du Pin (some of them would sleep under the slabs of the church), and the third dedicated to St. John the Baptist.

The Church of Saint-Martin is located in Soulières, in the Grand Est region. It has existed as early as the twelfth century but the building, in its current form, is more recent. The chevet and the transept date from the 16th century; the nave and its collaterals from the 17th century. The oldest part is covered with vaults on cross ogives. The flaming moldings of the arches are characteristic of the end of the Gothic period.
