This memorial stone, located on the Plateau de Californie above the old Craonne, commemorates the fierce fighting of April-May 1917 during the Nivelle Offensive. It stands on the spot where the French army suffered heavy losses in the battle against the German defenses. The stone also pays tribute to the destroyed village of Craonne, which was not rebuilt after the war. The site is closely linked to the famous “Chanson de Craonne”, the pacifist song of the French soldiers

In 1924, this memorial was erected in memory of the 22 soldiers and 12 civilians from Guignicourt who died during the First World War. The monument, located near the church, shows in relief a peasant couple mourning at a grave – a rare human and modest image rather than a classic military symbol. It recalls the deep suffering that the war left in this hard-hit municipality.

This church, built between the 11th and 13th centuries, is a fine example of transitional architecture between Romanesque and Gothic. It was built on the site of an earlier wooden church and possibly even a Gallo-Roman sanctuary. The construction was partly financed by the Abbey of Saint-Hubert (Belgium), which owned land in the region. The church has been protected as a historical monument since 1921.
