History
The parish church of Havys was in existence by the early 14th century, and was dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Bucilly until the Revolution. The current fortified church on the site was built in the 17th century, following the destruction of the medieval church and village of Havys during the Battle of Rocroi in 1643.
