Église Saint-Denis, Crépy-en-Valois

The Saint-Denis Church features a five-bay basilical nave with pointed arches resting on rectangular pillars and semicircular windows following a regular pattern.

The church replaced a castle chapel from the early 11th century and underwent multiple construction phases, with the nave dating from the second quarter of the 12th century.

The building demonstrates the evolution of architectural styles from Romanesque to Late Gothic, particularly visible in its three parallel aisles and five-sided apse.

The church holds Sunday mass at 11:00 AM and serves as the main place of worship for the Saint-Sébastien parish, covering seventeen municipalities.

The choir hall, built between 1544 and 1573, reaches a height of 13.50 meters with Renaissance-style tracery and partially blocked lower windows.
