A church in Jeantes was known since the 12th century, as it got mentioned in a charter of the Bishop of Laon Barthélémy. The building seen today was built from bricks around 1620-30 and probably replaced the older one.
The interior of the church is surprising, as in 1962 the Dutch artist Charles Eyck created great frescoes, covering 200 m² of the interior walls.
This baptismal font was probably part of the 12th century church. Rectangular fonts, carved from bluestone ("Pierre bleue de Tournai") must have been very popular and the state of the art in Northern France within the 12th century.
