    De H elooi founded an abbey on this hill (135m) that dominates the Scarpe Valley in the 7th century. The army of Louis XI camped there in the 15th century during the siege of Arras, as the Prince of Condé did opposite Turenne two centuries later. The battered abbey was rebuilt in the 18th century by Augustinians. But the revolution sold the walls as a national asset and during the world wars (especially in 1915 and 1940) the building was almost completely destroyed. Only the two impressive towers (53m) are still standing.
