The Saint-Julien et Saint-Blaise church, built at the end of the 15th century, replaces a chapel mentioned verbatim in 1140, and is the oldest wooden church in Champagne. The building has an imposing and slender spire and a large transept. Finally, the church has a remarkable carpentry work and houses several altarpieces and beautiful statues.
The Church of Saint-Parres church is located in Onjon, in the Champagne region. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1693 and then under reconstruction until 1740. The church is composed of a central nave and a choir built in the place of the fourth span. It has a statue of St. Parres and one of St. John, a high altar and sixteenth century baptismal font and stained glass windows.
The 16th century church of Saint Jean-Baptiste de Morembert is one of the half-timbered churches of Champagne. This small sanctuary of modest dimensions was originally a seigniorial chapel. It became a parish church in 1841.
The Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul de Bouranton church, with its Latin cross-shaped plan, retains its nave from the 12th century. The 16th century choir is surmounted by a bell tower with a bell dated to 1578. The church contains a 19th-century St. Peter's Processional Staff, which includes a 17th century statuette, and a number of decorative elements and furniture of the Bouranton Church.
