Tips
The Chapelle Saint-Druon in Cambrai is a historic church built in 1862 by Abbot Desmaret. The church replaced an older chapel founded at the end of the 16th century. The chapel was built at the initiative of the malaria patients of the old leper hospital that was located in this part of the city. The church is dedicated to Saint Druon, the patron saint of shepherds, which is reminiscent of the area around the church that was once grazed by sheep.
The church is decorated with beautiful stained glass windows made in 1930 by the stained glass artist Dreptin. The church is in a neo-Romanesque style with a tower portal and a bell tower.translated by
