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.
