Ref 4840: Country house with commercial potential for sale in Haute-Marne The abbey church, situated in the heart of a rural village with a genuine local character, offers significant potential for tourism.

The building features a beautiful Renaissance façade across three storeys, with its large mullioned windows. A gun port, situated in a corner turret on the right, serves as a reminder of the dark period of the Wars of Religion and the disastrous raids by German mercenaries (1567 and 1587).
