The city concentrates a significant number of economic activities and services: commerce, crafts, etc. The Saint-Paul parish church with its unusual architecture does not go unnoticed. At the beginning of the 20th century, Saint-Pol and the Ternois remained outside the industrial revolution. Only the textile industry and a few agri-food industries are present.

The Église Saint-Omer is a church in Estrée, a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France. The church was built in 1869 according to plans by the architect Clovis Normand from Hesdin. This chalk construction is inspired by the medieval style of the 13th century. It consists of a front bell tower surmounted by a spire, an elongated nave and a choir with three sides. The furniture is in keeping with the architecture and was made by local craftsmen such as sculptor Victor Morel from Bernieulles and furniture maker Jean-Baptiste Durant from Recques-sur-Course. The church was listed as a historical monument in 1908.
