It is a building (1885) made of local red bricks, the design is cruciform, a fairly large nave, two aisles and a choir with a bell tower on top. The interior of the building has a very rich appearance. The centerpiece of the furniture is undoubtedly the altar and the accompanying altarpiece, completely carved in wood and from a recent period (1925). On either side of the nave there are two altars on which rest Saint Mary (left) and Saint Joseph (right). On the floor are placed two other altarpieces, in which two statues are embedded (Saint Therese and Saint Martin) The baptismal font, the marble font, an 18th century pulpit with its openwork staircase and its four carved wooden bas-reliefs representing Gospel scenes, old paintings, the confessional, the bell "Georgina Irma", baptized in August 1901, make up the wealth of this church. The special thing about our village church is the veneration of the Notre Dame des Larmes, a semi-natural statue from the 15th century (presumably) remarkable French work of art. This virgin was previously invoked for the healing of eye ailments, but is in reality the virgin of sorrows who stands at the foot of the cross. Another statue of the Notre Dame from a more recent period, a crowned work, adorns our church.

The artist was inspired by the famous phrase of the supreme and truly Cornelian call: "Arise, the dead!" ". This call is proclaimed by a grenadier with a greatcoat half torn by the explosions; he steps over a gabion and prepares to launch the deadly projectile towards the enemy: the poilu is alive and the stone seems alive. Despite the difficulties in the execution, the artist fortunately managed to avoid any heaviness, he was able to give the stone all the desired and possible flexibility. Ardres was kind enough, in keeping with the erection of this magnificent monument, to honour the memory of the 82 heroes and their children who died gloriously during the Great War.

Le Grand Hebdomadaire, n°44, Sunday October 30, 1921, p. 370.: Ardres has also just erected a war memorial, the work of the sculptor Greber. The artist was inspired by the famous phrase of the supreme and truly Cornelian call: “Arise, the dead!” ". This call is proclaimed by a grenadier with a greatcoat half torn by the explosions; he steps over a gabion and prepares to launch the deadly projectile facing the enemy: the poilu is alive and the stone seems animated. Despite the difficulties of execution, the artist fortunately managed to avoid any heaviness, he was able to give the stone all the desired and possible flexibility. Ardres was kind enough to honor, as appropriate by the erection of this beautiful monument, the memory of the 82 heroes, its children, who fell gloriously during the great war.

The Castle of Colembert is located in the village of Colembert, in the Pas-de-Calais department, France. The land of Colembert was made a marquisate by Louis XIV in favor of Gabriel de Maulde. Anne-Louise d'Isques married it to Count de Sainte-Aldegonde in the mid-18th century. The current castle was built between 1776 and 1784 by architect Giraud Sannier for Count Charles de Sainte-Aldegonde on the site of an old castle. It was confiscated during the Revolution and sold as a national asset. Louis-Charles de Sainte-Aldegonde, son of the former owners, was able to buy back the castle. The current owner is Baron Olivier Law de Lauriston-Boubers, descendant of Louis-Charles de Sainte-Aldegonde .
