Founded in 1889, this abbey was built in the Gothic style. Listed as a Historic Monument, it consists of several buildings, including two castles. Today, it is home to around twenty Benedictine nuns of all ages. The monastery is partially open to the public: the abbey church, parlor, and shop are accessible.

Magnificent Aa

Well-kept house and total dilapidation in the immediate vicinity.

It is the highest point in the Audomarois region from where you can enjoy a panoramic view. Mont d'Helfaut is a hill that rises 176 meters above sea level. It offers a variety of trails for running. You can admire the landscape of the Aa valley, the forests and marshes, as well as the neighboring towns of Saint-Omer and Helfaut.

Don't forget to look up and take a look at the massive concrete dome that was once a secret Nazi V2 rocket base. The Helfaut-Wizernes dome is a complex of bunkers built in 1943 to launch missiles into London. It was never used as intended due to Allied bombing.

Along the Aa, you can admire the historic paper mills of Hallines. The Pidoux mills are two stone buildings dating from the 15th century. They were used to produce high quality paper for the administration, the national printing press and famous artists.

This mill has made oil, flour and paper in the past. It has been rehabilitated for the purpose of producing electricity. It is equipped with a monumental Sagebien wheel (6.6m in diameter and 5m wide). At night it is illuminated.
