Saint Vedast
Totally destroyed by the Allies during the First World War, it was rebuilt in a neo-Flemish style, inspired by Bruges, under the direction of architect Louis-Marie Cordonnier.
With his son, Louis-Stanislas Cordonnier, he undertook the reconstruction of the church of Saint Vedast, located behind the belfry and the Town Hall, replacing the former sixteenth-century hallekerque church.
Inaugurated in 1932, the new church features a blend of neo-Romanesque and neo-Byzantine styles, typical of Cordonnier's Reconstruction buildings, such as the churches in Béthune and Merville.
As they pass through the doorway, visitors are greeted by a Christ the Pantocrator (Christ the King) sculpted on the tympanum, before discovering an interior where the Art Deco style makes its presence felt.
