Église Saint-Crépin de Château-Thierry

About

The church Saint-Crépin is a church located in Château-Thierry, in the department of Aisne. Mentioned as early as the 12th century, it was completely rebuilt at the end of the 15th century or at the beginning of the 16th century, following the damage of the Hundred Years' War. It is a hall church of a late but sober Gothic style, whose facade is flanked by an imposing bell tower.

It has been a historic monument since 1957. Initially, the church of Saint-Crépin is the parish church of the suburbs of Château-Thierry, the intramural city being served by the church of Notre-Dame-du-Château and the surrounding hamlets by the church of Saint-Martin. After the Revolution, the parishes of Saint-Martin and Notre-Dame-du-Château were abolished and their churches destroyed.

The church of Saint-Crépin then became the parish church of the entire city.
