Tips from the Community
This Spanish mill was built around 1635, on the banks of the Lacquette River. It produced flour until 1938, then milling for livestock. It was bought in 1974 to be transformed into a home. It is built with brick and stone (white limestone). All that remains of the original building is the north gable (17th century), and also a porch. The water wheel is still in place but it no longer turns. The dam forms a pretty waterfall. A turret was added on the river side. It is a very beautiful private home with a beautiful garden in which you can see a stone fountain.

The Rebecques ponds are fishing ponds, but they are no less beautiful to admire. They are open all year round, from sunrise to sunset.

Located in the heart of a heritage village between the towns of Aire-sur-la-Lys and Saint-Omer, the Saint-Michel de Roquetoire church is a surprise behind the roofs of the village. The origins of this small town are very old, a health resort has existed on this already inhabited land since ancient times. Water is very important in the history of this city, as a legend indicates: during the reign of Saint Louis, a great drought that impoverished the soil, the priest, to put an end to it, struck the ground with a statue of Saint Michael. A spring originates from this place that has never dried up. Read the full history at https://openchurches.eu/fr/edifices/saint-michel-roquetoire-ndf

The Spanish Mill of Enquin-les Mines was built around 1635 on the banks of the river that crosses the village: the Lacquette. It was a mill that made flour until 1938. Then it produced grinding of food for the livestock. Today, it is no longer used to grind cereals, but it is still called "Spanish Mill", or "Harchy Mill" after its owner. It was bought in 1973 and transformed into a house in 1974. All that remains of the original building is the north gable (17th century), and also a porch. The waterwheel is still in place, but it no longer turns. There is also the dam, which forms a pretty waterfall. A turret has been added on the river side. It is a very beautiful house with a beautiful garden in which you can see a stone fountain. Source: http://cm2enquin.weebly.com/uploads/4/0/4/8/4048452/defi_intenet_enquin.pdf
