The mill on Mount Cassel

Highlight • Monument

This 18th-century mill can be visited. It is still in operation and you have the possibility to process the freshly ground flour into a pancake or bread. Always open during the weekend. In the tourist high season also on weekdays in the afternoon (subject to change). In the vicinity of Cassel there were about 18 mills, of which this is the only remaining witness. Originally it was used to press oil, now only for grinding grain.

Collegiate Church of Saint-Pierre, Aire-sur-la-Lys

Highlight • Religious Site

The current church took over the continuation of the Romanesque church consecrated in 1166 for the canon chapter inaugurated by Baudouin V in 1059. It was built between 1492 and 1634 and was carved from stone inside and out. Note the dates of progress of the work - the collegiate church of Saint-Pierre has been a parish church since 1803. When the successive wars (particularly the siege of 1710 and the bombing of August 8, 1944) repeatedly severely damaged the building it was always rebuilt according to the original plan3.
The collegiate church was listed as a historical monument in 1862 and was restored several times in the 20th century (Wikipedia).
