Concert organised in aid of the restoration of the harmonium. The Cultural Centre is working closely with the association Sauvons Notre Harmonium to raise the funds needed to restore the harmonium in the Saints-Pierre-et-Paul church in Warneton. Built in 1857, the instrument is an important part of the local heritage and is out of use and in need of restoration.

Saints Peter and Paul

Burnt several times, damaged and totally destroyed during the First World War, the present church was inspired by Romanesque and Byzantine styles. As the building is imposing, it is referred to widely as the “cathedral of the Lys” even though it is not the seat of a bishop.

The Art nouveau furnishings are in flamed ceramic, notably the high altar, the communion table, the pulpit and the confessionals. Noteworthy also are the fine oak stalls (1714) which came from the ancient abbey here.

The crypt contains the tomb (14th century) of Robert de Cassel, son of the Count of Flanders.
