Tips from the Community
Rebuilt in 1792, the church was partly destroyed during the revolution after seeing its furniture piled up and burned inside; it is said that only the walls remained. Its patron saint is St Quentin. The church was purchased by the son Aimable Billot de Lattre on 7 Floréal year 9, (May 7, 1801) from the Fabrique, for the sum of 58,300 francs. The bell tower, although restored in recent years, still appears to be the bell tower of the old church which dates back to a very remote period. It bears the stamp of the 13th century. The current bell dates from 1890 (700kg) It is called Marie, was baptized by Mr. LEFIN, dean of Avesnes-le-Comte, and had as godfather Mr. Brazier, Mayor, and as godmother Me Desaulty. As a relic, the church firstly has a considerable relic (femur bone) of St Quentin, a gift made by the church of St Quentin to Mr. Flajollet priest of Lattre at the beginning of this century as well as a fairly important relic from St Vaast, one from St Arnaud and one from St Wulgan. There was once a very popular pilgrimage in honor of St Quentin. It is difficult to assign the time when this pilgrimage began. But as far back as the church's account registers go, that is to say in the year 1570, there is question of the income made by the sale to pilgrims of coupons to burn and images on the days of the feasts of St Quentin.

Apart from the old keep that can be seen from the western part of the village, the castle of Lucheux, which has become an IME, has been destroyed several times, has kept among others its doors including the one known as "the village" which is visible from the paved road that goes up of the belfry.
