Saint-Léger, Herbelles

Highlight • Other

The neo-Gothic church was built before 1597 and replaced another building from the 11th century, which stood near the current chapel of Notre-Dame des Affligés. It was partially rebuilt in 1855. The tower dates from 1683. The originality of this construction lies in the fact that the bell tower is not above the entrance door, but above the choir. The door is simply formed by a pointed arch decorated with a pentacle. The first two bays of the nave are built of red brick and the last two in chalk. The four bays of the nave also have a pointed arch. The bell tower is formed by a gable wall that projects above the nave. The buttresses on this side are placed in line with the wall, creating a flat surface. The buttresses of the bell tower on the choir side are well placed on the corners

Chapelle Beaudelle

Highlight • Other

The chapel was built in 1877 thanks to a donation from Jean-Baptiste Beaudelle, a wealthy resident of the town. He wanted to build a chapel for the hospice of Aire-sur-la-Lys, and so the Chapelle Beaudelle was born. The building is designed in a neo-Gothic style, which was a popular architectural movement at the time.

Moulin des Invalides

Highlight • Other

The Moulin des Invalides is a watermill on the Laquette, located in the city of Aire-sur-la-Lys, part of the French department of Pas-de-Calais. The mill functioned as a flour mill. The mill was built in 1682 for Count De Robelin, who was an engineer for the French king. The builders were soldiers who were no longer fit for military service due to their injuries. In 1790 it was reported that the mill had two paddle wheels, but the current was too weak to turn both wheels. In 1840 the mill was partly rebuilt and enlarged. A winch was also installed to hoist the bags of grain. Mechanization followed in the course of the 19th century and the current building was erected in 1878. Electric propulsion arrived in the 20th century. In 1979 the company was closed down. In 1996 a new water wheel was installed, which had the same diameter of 5.2 meters as in 1790.
