RUINED CHURCH OF OULCHY-LA-VILLE.
The Church was built inside the walls of the old feudal castle, which gave its name to the village, and of which only the massive walls remain. It is a large Roman edifice dating from the 12th century. Although successive restorations have somewhat spoilt its lines, it is none the less a remarkable building. The stalls are 14th century and the pulpit 17th.

After visiting the church and seminary, cross the terrace and return to the lower part of the village by the footpath, which passes under the little bridge at the edge of the terrace. At the bottom of the path, the tourist will take his car again. A little further on, turn to the left into G. C. 22, leading up to Oulchy-la-Ville. This village was much more damaged than Oulchy-le-Château.
At the fork, near the entrance to Oulchy-la-Ville, turn to the right in the direction of the Church. The roof and tower of this 13th-14th century edifice were destroyed by bombardment (photo, p. 69).
