The Église Saint-Nicolas is a church in Bapaume, a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France. The church was built in the 16th century on the ruins of an old church and is in Gothic style. It has an impressive bell tower on the north side. The church was bombed several times during the First World War and was in ruins at the end of the war. It was rebuilt between 1924 and 1929 by the architect Eugène Bidard.

Monument to the Dead, Bapaume

Highlight • Monument

The Monument aux Morts in Bapaume is a war memorial commemorating the fallen from the First and Second World Wars. The monument, designed by the artist Daniel Langlet, was unveiled on 4 October 1925. It depicts a woman leading an orphan to the monument and pointing to his father's name on the list with a palm branch. This symbolises the importance of memory and courage1. The monument was originally placed on the site of the old presbytery, but was later moved. Around the year 2000, the statues on the monument were damaged, but they have since been restored.
