Saint-Charles-Borromée church in Sedan

Saint-Charles-Borromée is a church building in classical style located at Place d'Armes in Sedan. The structure features a central nave covered with barrel vaulting and two western towers with dome-topped belfries that frame the main entrance.

The building was originally constructed between 1593 and 1601 as a Protestant temple. Following the Edict of Fontainebleau in 1685, it was converted into a Catholic house of worship.

The church is named after Saint Charles Borromeo and serves as a place of worship for the local Catholic community. Visitors can observe the religious furnishings and decorations that reflect its role as a spiritual center.

The church is located on a central square in the city and is easy to reach. Visitors should be aware that services and other activities may affect visiting times.

The building briefly held cathedral status when the bishopric of Ardennes was established in 1791. This short period as a cathedral ended when the region's ecclesiastical structure changed.
