Founded in 1889, this abbey was built in the Gothic style. Listed as a Historic Monument, it consists of several buildings, including two castles. Today, it is home to around twenty Benedictine nuns of all ages. The monastery is partially open to the public: the abbey church, parlor, and shop are accessible.

Situated along the River Houlle, the Serques Marshes are part of the larger Audomarois Marshes. This area is renowned for its rich biodiversity and beautiful scenery. The nearby village of Houlle is a popular destination for tourists looking for a peaceful waterside holiday. The River Houlle, a tributary of the Aa, flows through these marshes and provides a picturesque setting for walks and boat trips.

It is a former French gunpowder factory that was founded in the 17th century by the “Régie Royale des Poudres et Salpêtres” under Louis XIV to supply the army with gunpowder and to meet certain civilian needs. The factory closed in 1972 and has been abandoned since then. The site is polluted by large quantities of nitrates that remain in the soil. The area is now a protected nature reserve and is open to the public
