2025 Season: Fortresses of Faith Resound
The 2025 season of the Circuit of Fortified Churches of Thiérache continued the valorization of this exceptional heritage. The summer concerts in the fortified churches once again offered unique musical moments, where the centuries-old vaults resonated with classical and baroque works performed by talented musicians.
The 150 km circuit attracted many visitors throughout the summer, discovering the corner towers, murder holes, and machicolations of these unique buildings along the villages. The European Heritage Days in September were an opportunity for exceptional openings and in-depth guided tours, allowing the public to understand the turbulent history of Thiérache and the vital role of these fortress-churches in protecting populations.
