RUINS OF THE CASTLE AT MONT-NOTRE-DAME IN 1918.
The ruins of the 18th century château, destroyed by the bombardments, stand on the left of the church. The entrance-gates, enclosure wall, and an isolated outbuilding are all that the bombardments have spared. Inside the park a heap of débris and stones marks the spot where the castle stood.
The castle was protected by a fortress with massive towers and donjon, which was destroyed and rebuilt several times.
From the top of the hill fine panorama of the valley of the Vesle to the north. There was much severe fighting on its banks throughout the War.
At the bottom of the hill turn to the right and follow the uphill road G. C. 14 to Chéry-Chartreuve.
