Tips
The church of Enguinegatte, built in white stone, had a choir and a bell tower portal from the 17th century. We went there by a spiral staircase, with a receding barrel vault. The nave was restored in the 19th century.
It was destroyed by bombing during the Second World War targeting nearby German installations and a V1 rocket launching platform.
It was completely rebuilt in brick in 1960. It has retained the bronze bell, cast by Beaudoin and Jussaud in 1776, and classified as movable objects of historical monuments in 1943. It bears the arms of the Ghistelle and Lens Ricourt families.translated by
