The Mauroy Bridge is one of three movable bridges spanning the canal at Saint-Léger. Each bridge had a bridge keeper's house, where the bridge keeper lived, responsible for opening and closing the bridge each time a ship passed. These houses were often also cafés... or still are, as here. Just beyond the bridge, the old Mauroy farm bordered an imposing castle, the Mauroy Castle, designed by Sanderus in 1644. In 1504, the castle and the Mauroy estate belonged to Arnould de Maulde, a lord of the manor. Source: brochure "Promenade Saint-Léger"

A few facts about the church: * From base to spire, this tower measures 57 meters high. * On the south side of the church, there is a trace of a low opening, undoubtedly belonging to a "gateway to paradise" that allowed the deceased to be transported directly from the church to the cemetery. * And... if you can get inside: On the walls of the aisles, beautiful 19th-century wainscoting conceals a decorated frieze with the coat of arms of the Lord of Maurey, Lord of Saint-Léger. This frieze, discovered during the church's restoration in 1987, consisted of a black band painted on the walls to commemorate the burial of an important figure. Few friezes have been preserved in Europe. Source: information board on site

This original, enormous artwork consists of a table and 10 robinia wood chairs. These pieces of furniture enhance the illusion of oversized space and transport the viewer back to childhood. It's one of the artistic works you can discover along the Arty trail, which runs between Roubaix (FR) and Tournai (BE) along the Roubaix and Scheldt Canal (www.parcoursarty.com).

The Church of Saint-Léger is in the Tournai Gothic tradition. Rebuilt in the 16th century using Tournai stone, it retains traces of the earlier Gothic building dating from the 13th century. Burned down in 1693, the upper parts of the building were repaired with brick. The paneled barrel vaults were replaced by ceilings, and the roofs were replaced with a single roof. Between 1987 and 1994, the church underwent a major restoration program. The building consists of an imposing tower, a nave with three-bay aisles, and a projecting transept. The three-sided choir is joined by two sacristies from the 15th and 18th centuries. The square tower has four levels marked by stringcourses. Its corners are reinforced by buttresses with octagonal pinnacles framing the tower's tapered spire. Note the small twin bay window, a reused element possibly from the 13th-century church, as well as the remains of the western façade located on either side of the tower. The interior houses some decorative elements from the 18th and 19th centuries, such as the altars, choir stalls, paneling, and statues of the Virgin and Saint Léger. The saint, traditionally symbolized by the stiletto (which was used to gouge out his eyes), here holds an auger, a typical tool of the region used in the manufacture of clogs. Also noteworthy is the sacristy door, covered with nails which, according to tradition, were driven in by the sick hoping for a cure.
