Culture
The 12th-century Chapelle de Mondeville is located in Champignol-lez-Mondeville and has been protected as a historic monument since 2 March 1927 through its official listing. The Chapelle Notre-Dame de l’Annonciation is the last surviving remnant of the village of Mondeville, whose last house was demolished in 1825.
The Tour de l'ancienne maison seigneuriale de Clairvaux is the last surviving remnant of a manor belonging to Clairvaux Abbey. It is clearly regarded as a coherent 13th-century building that has undergone little change since then and probably served as a prison from the beginning of its construction.
A visit to Champignol-lez-Mondeville presents the 12th-century chapel, the medieval prison tower, the church and the history of Champagne wines. The church of Champignol contains almost sixty remarkable works.
