"Saint-Quentin Church of Dienville is 34 meters long, 18.5 meters wide and 10.5 meters high, and the highest point of the tower is 42 meters high.

It belongs to 3 eras:

- The sanctuary and the choir with the two collateral bays are of the ogival style and date back to the 15th century.

- The spans between the choir and the tower belong to the Renaissance and date from 1558. The tower as for it, dates from 1784.

- The gate of the choir was made by Mathieu Lesueur, locksmith of the abbey of Clairvaux; it was laid in 1768. Originally, the gate separated the choir from the aisles as well as from the large nave, but the side gates were victims of revolutionary vandalism, except for one of the gates that now closes the cemetery.

The organ acquired in 1791 is that of the Church of Bernardine Ladies of Saint Jacques de Vitry le Brûlé.

At the end of the eighteenth century, there were nine bells. Seven were removed during the Revolution and two were broken on February 1, 1814. Six new bells were blessed in 1820 by Bishop de Boulogne. "

" L'Église Saint-Quentin de Dienville mesure 34 m de long sur 18,50 m de large et 10,50 m de hauteur sous voûte. Le point culminant de la tour est à 42 m d'élévation.

Elle appartient à 3 époques :

- Le sanctuaire et le chœur avec les deux travées collatérales sont du style ogival et datent du XVe siècle.

- Les travées entre le chœur et la tour appartiennent à la Renaissance et datent de 1558. La tour quant à elle, date de 1784.

- La grille du chœur a été faite par Mathieu Lesueur, serrurier de l'abbaye de Clairvaux ; elle a été posée en 1768. Originairement, la grille séparait le chœur des nefs collatérales aussi bien que de la grande nef, mais les grilles de côté furent victimes du vandalisme révolutionnaire, sauf l'une des portes qui ferme aujourd'hui le cimetière.

L'orgue acquis en 1791 est celui de l'église des Dames Bernardines de Saint Jacques de Vitry le Brûlé.

À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, on comptait neuf cloches. Sept furent enlevées pendant la Révolution et deux furent brisées le 1er février 1814. Six nouvelles cloches furent bénites en 1820 par Mgr de Boulogne. "
