This country church was built in the 18th century with dressed stone and a slate roof. Note its stained-glass windows, restored in 2004, which let in a pretty light.

This neoclassical-style church was built in place of an older one destroyed during the Spanish invasions of 1636. It stands out for the bulbous dome topped by a spire of its bell tower, its pediment reminiscent of that of Valloires, or its five-bay nave.

One of the finest examples of Flamboyant Gothic architecture in maritime Picardy, constructed between 1488-1539 for the nave and 1661-1663 for the choir. The church was built on marshy ground near a branch of the Somme River with an unusual north-facing façade instead of the traditional western orientation. During World War II, German artillery bombardment on May 20, 1940, caused a devastating fire that destroyed much of the building, with restoration completed only in 1998.

A very beautiful church, but pay attention to the opening hours.

Don't forget to stop at the bakery opposite the abbey church which makes the best "gâteau battu" in the region!
