The monument to the 2 World Wars is located at the Saint-Remy church.

On the top part of the column we see a crucifix in front with above and next to it:
1914 Ortho 1918
To his heroes
To his martyrs "
Under the cross: "We never forget"

On the sides it says "Fatherland" on the right and "God" on the left.

On the bottom block in front: "Fallen on the field of honor" - 3 names
"1940-1945" - 5 names
On the 2 sides are the names of the fighters (17 and 14)
At the back: "Deportees" - 4 names
Citizens in captivity - 3 names
