To think that soldiers took refuge behind the church and left a trace of themselves for our freedom 🕊️ by leaving us these graffiti. It is my duty of memory to create a must-see on this place full of history to honor them and to show them all my gratitude I went to the grave of one of them killed in Bouchoir on August 9, 1918 (Somme) a few months before the armistice. William David Boag 21 years old 🇨🇦 Never forget 💮. Come and contemplate this place. Thank you Franck.

Be careful if you take the wooden passage, slippery if wet

Excellent for the interest of our heritage. It really is a great pleasure.

La Carrière de Craie de Bray is a quarry in the municipality of Mont-Saint-Éloi. It is a popular place for hikers and nature lovers because of its beautiful surroundings. The hills around Mont-Saint-Éloi consist of a thick layer of secondary-age chalk, formed by the accumulation of skeletons of marine animals when Artois was submerged in a shallow sea.

The Caucourt water mill dates from the 16th century. It was rebuilt in the 18th century and was used to grind wheat. Ravaged by a fire in 1981, it was resurrected once again. The bucket wheel fed from above without a water head has been installed since 2009. It identically replaced the last wooden wheel which had not existed since 1938. The wheel is an essential organ that transforms water into energy.

Listed as a historic monument, it was built in the 15th and 16th centuries. Dominating the village is this important one stone construction with a sandstone base and an 8th century bell tower. The architecture of the ship is remarkable, especially for its vaults and chapels. The first church of Agnez, whose date of construction is unknown, was destroyed in 1475 by the French troops of Louis 12. Only the tower and the choir remain. But traces of the old ship are still visible at the foot of the tower. The 15th century bell tower was raised around 1632 and topped by a stone spire. The building was then restored between 1842 and 1845 by architect A. Grigny. The interior of the church is decorated in Gothic style. The tower has a defensive appearance, which leads us to believe that it served as a lookout post during military tensions. Indeed, we can see a crenellated balustrade at the top of the tower protecting the walkway from enemy fire. Loopholes have also been created in the front of the tower so that spectators can watch without being seen. They could also shoot their attacker from cover. To complicate and delay the siege of the church, diagonal buttresses are placed on the walls of the tower. We can also note that the tower does not have large windows that could facilitate the penetration of attackers into the church. The only openings in the tower are the abat sounds that allowed to spread the sound of the bells, used in certain cases to warn the population of an attack.

The current castle with a beautiful weathercock.

The Église Saint-Martin in Habarcq is a historic building with a rich history. It was originally built in the 13th century by Jehan de Habarcq, but was quickly destroyed and burned during the conflicts between Louis the French Revolution. The church has a number of unique features, including the fact that it was originally a chapel attached to the de Habarcq family castle. It only became a parish church in 1806. Inside the church there were windows (which are still visible) that allowed the gentlemen to attend religious ceremonies without having to move. Built in the Gothic style, the church has a number of interesting architectural features, including richly decorated windows depicting vegetative and animal motifs from the medieval bestiary. Above the first window you can see the coat of arms of the Count of Lens, lord of Habarcq. The church is located in the heart of the village and is partly hidden by its proximity to the castle. The interior is completely covered in woodwork and paneling, said to come from a cedar tree from Lebanon that once stood in the castle's park and was uprooted by a storm in 1940.
