Saint-Martin

Description

This building with its rural appearance was built of brick and stone in 1769. The tower of the building is of much older origin. Its base of rubble dates from the 11th century.
Inside are two painted reliquaries, those of Saint Ursula (1624) and of Saint Frederick (1620). They are small works of art whose sides have been enhanced by beautiful miniatures showing the life of the saints.
These reliquaries came from the ancient Abbey Saint Feuillien du Roeux and were sheltered here on the arrival of French Revolutionary troops.
Another quality ornament is the ancient Christ in wood in the Gothic style of Hainaut.
The surroundings of the church are green and pleasant as it dominates a natural reserve of ponds which shelter interesting flora and fauna.
