The former Norbertine abbey was renovated in the 18th century. The high nave and some buildings from the 18th century are still there. They now house the presbytery, the town hall and the school. The monks introduced turkeys to Licques in the 17th century. Only the church remains of the abbey, but the turkeys are still there and have made the town famous. Every year in December, the fête de la Dinde is celebrated.
