Eglise Saint Rémi de Floing

The fortified chancel of Saint-Rémi Church likely dates from the late 16th or early 17th century, while the bell tower, traditionally dated to 1715, is probably earlier due to its arrow slits. The bell tower door was rebuilt in 1752. The single-nave church may have been renovated in the 17th century, as evidenced by its windows and arrow slits. The church stands within a former fortified cemetery, some of whose towers remained standing until 1844. 
In the Middle Ages, the rectory was under the patronage of the Abbey of Saint-Médard de Soissons, with the prior of Donchery and the village priest as tithe collectors. The church, oriented to the north-east, has an elongated plan. Its western massif includes the bell tower, flanked by two chapels, including that of the baptismal font. An organ gallery is located on the upper floor. 
The rectangular chancel ends in a flat apse adjoining the sacristy. Access to the upper levels is via a staircase located at the base of the bell tower. The building is constructed of limestone rubble with dressed stone quoins, and its interior walls are plastered. The nave floor is decorated with geometric tiles, while the chancel has a wooden floor. 
The chancel walls feature round-arched windows, while the nave walls have wider windows with an outward splay. The four-tiered bell tower has several arrow slits and a chimney on the first level. The nave has a flat ceiling, the chancel has a ribbed vault, and watchtowers fortify the structure. The roofs are slate, with gabled roofs for the nave and chancel, conical roofs for the watchtowers, and a polygonal spire for the bell tower.
