Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements—which, on the one hand, were helpful and useful, but on the other hand, as untamed forces of nature, could also be a threat—for various purposes, thus eliminating the need for human or animal muscle power. Mills such as these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: The heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by wind or—as in this case—water.

This Spanish mill was built around 1635, on the banks of the Lacquette River. It produced flour until 1938, then milling for livestock. It was bought in 1974 to be transformed into a home. It is built with brick and stone (white limestone). All that remains of the original building is the north gable (17th century), and also a porch. The water wheel is still in place but it no longer turns. The dam forms a pretty waterfall. A turret was added on the river side. It is a very beautiful private home with a beautiful garden in which you can see a stone fountain.

The Canal de Neufossé is an artificial canal located in the north of France, between the River Aa in Arques and the Canal d'Aire in Aire-sur-la-Lys. The canal is part of the Dunkerque-Escaut Canal and is approximately 18 kilometers long. The canal was built in 1760 to connect the Lys River with the Aa, giving Lille and other inland cities a French route to the sea. The canal has a maximum height of 19 meters and a minimum height of 3 meters. The canal has a number of historic features, including three locks from the eighteenth century and a double lock from 1887 called the ascenseur des Fontinettes.

This is one of the finest examples of the Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance in French Flanders. The imposing tower (62m) resembles that of Notre-Dame in Saint-Omer. Inside, the pattern of the ribs of the vaults has been transferred to the floor. The choir is closed by a beautiful rood screen; on the left is the gilded statue of Notre-Dame Panetière. The oak organ case comes from the abbey church of Clamarais. Choir and apse suffered from a bombardment in 1944. In the back you can see a beautiful Virgin and Child (15th century)

The Moulin des Invalides is a watermill on the Laquette, located in the city of Aire-sur-la-Lys, part of the French department of Pas-de-Calais. The mill functioned as a flour mill. The mill was built in 1682 for Count De Robelin, who was an engineer for the French king. The builders were soldiers who were no longer fit for military service due to their injuries. In 1790 it was reported that the mill had two paddle wheels, but the current was too weak to turn both wheels. In 1840 the mill was partly rebuilt and enlarged. A winch was also installed to hoist the bags of grain. Mechanization followed in the course of the 19th century and the current building was erected in 1878. Electric propulsion arrived in the 20th century. In 1979 the company was closed down. In 1996 a new water wheel was installed, which had the same diameter of 5.2 meters as in 1790.

The Invalides mill was built in 1682 by order of Robelin, engineer of the King of France, by former soldiers whose injuries prevented them from continuing to serve the army... Hence the name. The elevation of the mill on the course of the Lacquette carries a vertical side wheel with flat blades, replaced thanks to the association "Le Patrimoine Airois". Not to be missed during your visit to Aire sur la lys. Source: https://www.monnuage.fr/point-d-interet/moulin-des-invalides-a85131

The current church took over the continuation of the Romanesque church consecrated in 1166 for the chapter of canons inaugurated in 1059 by Baudouin V. Built between 1492 and 1634, it is carved in stone inside and out. Note the dates of the progress of the work - the collegiate church of Saint-Pierre has been a parish church since 1803. If the successive wars (in particular the siege of 1710 and the bombardment of August 8, 1944) have repeatedly seriously damaged the building, it has always been rebuilt according to the original plans. The collegiate church was listed as a historical monument in 1862 and was restored several times in the 20th century (Wikipedia).
