Tergnier where Art Deco is omnipresent. Its most representative examples are Place Carnégie (classified as a historic monument), the Town Hall and the Fargniers church. The media library, a former station buffet, is a site that became historic with the arrival of Victor Hugo in 1870 who had his first meal on French soil there upon his return from exile. The bell tower of the Veltin school, visible from rue de la Famille Sauvage (Quessy-Cité), still indicates the time of the bombing which ravaged the city on the night of April 10 to 11, 1944. Seven tourist signs, located in the city to constitute the Trails of Memory, retrace acts of war or resistance during the Second World War which took place in the territory.

The clock of this bell tower still marks the time of the dramatic bombardment of the night of April 10 to 11, 1944 which destroyed three quarters of this wonderful city of railway workers.

Tergnier is a garden city for railway workers. After the First World War, the completely destroyed city had to be rebuilt: Tergnier thus became the site of the construction of the largest garden city of the railway company. It was created in 1919 to accommodate railway workers (hence its name). Very influenced by the art deco style of these years of the beginning of the 20th century, one finds there more surprisingly many Masonic symbols while browsing its streets.
