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

Kelmes in West Flanders. The Saint-Pierre church: 13th century The monument aux morts. Discover in this church a monumental ceramic tile of 10/10 representing Saint Peter, made in the 1950s by Father Dom Bouton. We see the monk's trademark: a drawing with a black outline that he fills with flat surfaces of bright colours. The liturgical arrangement, i.e. the altar, the communion rail, the tabernacle and the side altars are made of earthenware and come from the workshops of Wisques. It is difficult to determine, in the absence of exact sources, who is the author of these works, knowing that the monks of the artist collaborate.
