    Former Picardy Gothic collegiate church from 1488. Due to heavy German artillery fire during World War II, it collapsed except for the towers and the beginning of the nave. It has only been partially restored. The parts that survived the war are still very impressive.

      One of the finest examples of Flamboyant Gothic architecture in maritime Picardy, constructed between 1488-1539 for the nave and 1661-1663 for the choir. The church was built on marshy ground near a branch of the Somme River with an unusual north-facing façade instead of the traditional western orientation.

      During World War II, German artillery bombardment on May 20, 1940, caused a devastating fire that destroyed much of the building, with restoration completed only in 1998.

        During the French Revolution, the church served as a "Temple of Reason" and hosted a festival in honor of the Supreme Being on June 8, 1794.
