Eglise de l'Immaculée Conception de Vrigne aux Bois

The Church of the Immaculate Conception, located south of Vrigne, was built after the destruction of the previous church during the fighting in 1940. The old church, rebuilt in 1859 by the Reims architect Brunette thanks to a donation from Mrs. Marie-Marguerite Gendarme, only partially survives: elements of the choir and chapels were integrated into the new construction. Construction began on August 16, 1951, the first stone was laid on November 23, 1952, and the church was consecrated on September 18 and 19, 1955.

The church has a Latin cross plan. The nave, with a single vessel of five bays, is preceded by a porch with a main entrance and two side entrances. The fifth bay is flanked by two chapels forming a false transept. The choir comprises a straight bay framed by two chapels and a three-sided apse, with a sacristy attached to the north chapel. The bell tower stands on the north side of the first bay.

The building combines Dom-le-Mesnil rubble with an internal structure in reinforced concrete for the modern parts, while the old elements are in rendered rubble and cut stone. The floors are covered with black marble slabs, and the walls, rendered in gray cement, are pierced with rectangular bays with glass tiles in the nave and the right bay of the choir. The apse and the tympanum of the portal have similar bays, while the chapels of the choir have pointed arch bays.

The nave has a low barrel vault, the choir is ceilinged, and the chapels of the nave have sloping ceilings. The slate roofs include long, open gabled sections for the nave, the choir and its chapels, lean-tos for the choir chapels, and a reinforced concrete roof for the porch. The bell tower is covered by a reinforced concrete vault extrados.
