Chichery, or “Happiness is in the meadow”

Saint Laurent church

A church dating from the 13th, early 14th century which has undergone many modifications.

In August 1944, the explosion of the ammunition camp of Chemilly destroyed most of the stained glass windows.

The three windows of the choir represent the crucifixion and they are remarkable for their originality. It was a master glassmaker from Paris who carried out the work.
