THE CHURCH OF ST. CHARLES-BORROMÉE

Classified as a historic monument, this building was originally a Protestant temple. At the end of the ^16th century, Catholics and Protestants still shared the same church. Henri de la Tour d'Auvergne, deploring the situation, had a temple built on the site of today's church. In 1685, when the Edict of Nantes was revoked, Sedan was already part of France. The Conseil d'Etat ordered that Catholics take back possession of the site. The former temple became a Catholic church, with a domed rotunda serving as choir - beautiful Louis XVI woodwork and stalls, and the cathedra of former constitutional bishop Nicolas Philibert, for whom the church served as cathedral - and two towers topped by a domed belfry. Also worth seeing: the 1768 organ.
