Tips
The brick façade with layers of white natural stone is five stories high and decorated with sculptures. The layout of the ambulatory and the window design refer to the Gothic style. The church was designed by Du Blocq, a Jesuit from Mons, and completed in 1629. It is notable for its high interior, the volutes on either side of the nave, and the narrow square towers on either side of the choir, a Tournai tradition. The chapel is home to the Centre d'Interprétation de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine (CIAP) du Pays d'Art et d'Histoire de Saint-Omer
