The church

The Saint Nicolas's Day church rises in the bottom of the agglomeration, in the middle of the pleasure garden which replaced the cemetery. Except for a small chorus of XIIe century, it goes back to the rebuilding operated about 1574 per Adrien Morel, lord of Tangry, knight of the Council of Artois. The bell-tower-porch, of massive aspect, is confined watch towers placed on the buttresses of angle. Those had to be reinforced at the XVIIe century, during the construction of a stone arrow which crumbled in 1736. The porch, which has only the starters of its vault, is framed empty niches supported by curious decorated spiral columns of flowers.
