Eglise Saint Rémi de Givonne

On 6 October 1830, plans were drawn up by the departmental architect Delerue for the complete reconstruction of the church. Although the choir appears to have been built at that time, the rest of the building projected on paper was not completed in this form because it seems that it was the Sedan architect Juste Henriot who completed the rest of the building as it appeared when the work was received in 1844. Although the date of the start of the work is not known, the arch of the organ gallery bears the date 1836. The church of Saint-Remi, located to the north-east of the village, has an elongated plan. Its three-aisled nave is preceded by a western massif with a central bell tower, a staircase to the south and a chapel to the north. The square choir has a straight bay and a semicircular apse. The building is built of Bulson limestone rubble, with parts in cut stone. The nave, covered with a false vault, is separated by Tuscan columns, while the choir is surmounted by a false cul-de-four. The interior walls are in exposed stone, and the floor is in limestone slabs and bricks. The bell tower, with vestibule and organ gallery, is crowned with a balustrade. The whole is covered in slate, with long-span roofs for the nave and the choir.
