This is the former chapel (end of the 17th century) of the Collège Sainte-Marie. The facade is in Jesuit style. The rich decoration follows the Flemish tradition: ringed columns and pillars, broken pediments and curled, inverted consoles.

This is one of the finest examples of the Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance in French Flanders. The imposing tower (62m) resembles that of Notre-Dame in Saint-Omer. Inside, the pattern of the ribs of the vaults has been transferred to the floor. The choir is closed by a beautiful rood screen; on the left is the gilded statue of Notre-Dame Panetière. The oak organ case comes from the abbey church of Clamarais. Choir and apse suffered from a bombardment in 1944. In the back you can see a beautiful Virgin and Child (15th century)
