Location of the commune of Bancigny in the canton of Vervins
Bancigny is located some 50 km northeast of Laon and 12 km east by southeast of Vervins. It can be accessed by the D747 road from Plomion in the northwest which then continues east to Jeantes. There is also country road access from west, south, and north. Apart from the village the commune is entirely farmland with no other villages or hamlets.[3]
The commune is traversed by the Huteau stream from east to west north of the village and bordering the Mill Farm northwest of the village.[3]
Bancigny was called Bancegnies on a map dated 1205 and at that time the area was a lordship. The Bancigny area was made a County in 1590. During the French Revolution, Bancigny became a commune in the Canton of Plomion in the district of Vervins. In 1801 the commune was transferred to the Canton of Vervins in the Arrondissement of Vervins.

The Church of Saint Nicolas showing how the symmetry of the towers has been lost
The commune has several religious buildings and structures that are registered as historical monuments:
The Fortified Church of Saint-Nicolas (16th century).[10] The symmetry of the two towers can no longer be seen as the upper part of each defence tower was leveled in the period 1900-1905 as evidenced by postcards of the period.[11][12] The Church contains two items that are registered as historical objects:
A Group Sculpture: Christ on the Cross between the Virgin and Saint John (16th century)[13]
