The patron saint of the marginalized, Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, was born in 1748 in the picturesque village of Amettes. He is better known as "God's Traveler." A French mendicant pilgrim, he traveled the roads of Europe, from sanctuary to sanctuary until his final stop: Rome. He was canonized in 1881. The birthplace of Saint Benedict Joseph, a small chalet, has become an important pilgrimage site in Artois, dedicated to his memory and housing his belongings.

The Église Saints-Lugle-et-Luglien is a church in Ferfay. It is dedicated to Saints Lugle and Luglien, two 7th-century Irish princes who were on a pilgrimage to Rome when they were attacked and murdered in northern France. Their bodies were thrown into a pond, but were later recovered and buried in a chapel in Hurionville. The church in Ferfay contains a 16th-century polychrome wooden reliquary containing the remains of the saints. The saints are celebrated on 23 October in the Catholic calendar.

The Sainte-Mélanie chapel, built in 1848 by Roseline d'Hinnisdael in memory of her mother and as a family burial place, was built in the park of the Château de Ferfay, on the edge of the Chaussée Brunehaut. Today it is owned by the municipality of Ferfay. During the bombings of the Second World War, the castle was completely destroyed, the chapel lost its stained glass windows. This was followed by waterproofing work. Fifty years later, the building shows serious signs of weakness: masonry, framework and roofing. The chapel is the work of the Parisian architect Pierre-Charles Dusillion (1804–1878) and is one of the rare examples of neo-Renaissance architecture of Italian inspiration in the Pas-de-Calais, perhaps soon protected as historical monuments.

Enquin was located on the western edge of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais coal basin, which was mined on a large scale in the 19th century and around 1850 coal was also being sought in Enquin. Initially, the mine had a good yield. The mining company built a town with miners' houses between Enquin and Fléchinelle. In 1905, the name of the municipality was changed from Enquin to Enquin-les-Mines, referring to the mining. However, the mine suffered somewhat from poorer access and less large coal and ultimately proved to be unprofitable. The mine closed definitively in 1928.
