The Église Saint-Bernard de Clairmarais is a beautiful historic building located in Clairmarais, Pas-de-Calais. The church was built in the 19th century, with its consecration in 1876. It is an example of Gothic architecture, with a simple but impressive style. The church is located near the ruins of the old Cistercian Abbey of Clairmarais, making it a unique place to explore the history of the region.

Ruins of Clairmarais Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

The Ruins of Clairmarais Abbey are a fascinating historical relic in Clairmarais, Hauts-de-France. This abbey was originally founded in 1140 by monks of the Cistercian order, led by Gonfroi, a follower of Bernard of Clairvaux. The abbey was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and was known as a spiritual and agricultural center in the region.
Unfortunately, the abbey was dissolved in 1791 during the French Revolution, and only the ruins remain.

Saint-Omer Cathedral

Highlight • Other

You will see the tomb of St. Audomarus and the mausoleum of Eustache de Croy, chapter provost in Saint-Omer and bishop of Arras, a moving work by Jacques Dubroeucq (16th century). He shows the deceased kneeling, in bishop's robes, but also lying down and naked, as in classical antiquity. Note the 15th-century tombstones with inscriptions and the Descent from the Cross by Rubens (first bay of the right aisle). The tombs are 15th century, the alabaster statues 16th and 17th centuries. Other eye-catchers are the Madonna with cat (right aisle), the statue (13th century) of Notre-Dame des Miracles that attracts pilgrims every September, a Nativity of Christ from the 13th century and the tomb (8th century) of St. Erkembode, abbot of Saint-Bertin - here they leave shoes of children who have difficulty learning to walk. Above the astronomical clock (1558) a jaquemart tolls the hours (transept left). Above it is a rose window in flamboyant style. The statue group Grand Dieu de Thérouanne (13th century) stood 20 m above the portal of the cathedral of Thérouanne, which was destroyed by Charles V. The figures seem distorted, but the artist foreshortened them so that they had the correct perspective from below (transept left).
