history

The three-sided closed choir of St-Maximin dates from the 13th century , the adjoining two eastern yokes of the five-bay nave date from the 15th century , which was extended to the west in 1766. The monumental free-standing bell tower was originally a defense tower of the otherwise completely demolished Jarnys Castle and also dates from the 15th century. The tower was badly damaged in World War I and received its representative neo-Gothic crown and dome in 1924.
