ヒューディコートのおすすめツーリングルート

サン＝ニコラ教会は、エペエイ（Épehy）コミューンの領土内に位置しています。 カンブレーのサント＝ニエール（Sainte-Agnès de Cambrai）からの豊富な木製パネルで装飾された最初の建物は、1801年まで補助教会として機能した後、教区教会となりました。1917年に第一次世界大戦中に破壊され、この地域の歴史的遺産の終焉を告げました。 現在の教会の再建は、元々クリシー（Clichy）出身の建築家ルイ・コンポワ（Louis Compoint）の指揮のもと、1922年に始まりました。新しい建物は、レンガの使用と石造りの基壇を特徴とするアール・デコ様式を採用しています。内部には、エマオスのキリストを描いたレリーフで飾られた主祭壇、そして著名な職人によって署名された木製パネルやステンドグラスなどの主要な芸術的要素が保存されています。 https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Saint-Nicolas_d%27%C3%89pehy

The Château d'Esnes is a historic castle located in the picturesque French village of Esnes. Dating back to the 18th century, the castle is surrounded by lush gardens and a charming park, giving it a picturesque and peaceful feel. The Château d'Esnes is known for its classical architecture, with impressive facades and elegant interiors that reflect the grandeur of that time.

This Cistercian abbey was founded in 1132 by Bernard of Clairvaux and grew into a large and influential community within a century. Royal armies camped there as in a fortress and Charles V signed peace with Henry II in 1556. In addition to the sick and outcasts, travellers and pilgrims also found shelter in the hospital. The largest abbey church in Europe stood here with an extraordinary length of 135 metres. On feast days, 3000 meals were provided to the needy in the wide area. After the French Revolution, it was declared national property and an inglorious end followed as an open-air quarry. Now, restored parts remain, such as the abbot's palace with the dormitories and monks' halls with the chapter house next to it. The 7-hectare abbey park is being restored to its former glory. Open March to November (Tue-Sat 10am-12pm and 2pm-5.30pm, Sun 3pm-6.30pm, closed Mondays).

Parts of this gigantic abbey are interesting to visit. The church has disappeared but must have been enormous. Beautiful garden and shop with, among other things, abbey beer.

The tower of this former windmill still makes a good impression and, on the one hand, still shapes the surrounding landscape to this day. On the other hand, it lacks precisely those elements that were once so fundamental to its appearance: Without the characteristic wings - which used to capture the force of the wind to set the heavy millstones in motion - the building is now missing an essential architectural element.

Vaucelles Abbey is a former monastery of Cistercian monks. Founded in 1131 by Saint Bernard himself.

The castle of Esnes is a private castle (which belongs to the Landas family for 900 years) can be visited on the last Sunday, from April to October.
