From 1859 onwards, the permanent church was built and in 1860 the tower was built. In 1865 the choir was restored and in 1866 a new sacristy was built. This church was consecrated in 1872. The stained glass windows of this church show the coats of arms of the bishops of the former diocese of Thérouanne. They were installed in 1901-1902.

The Église St Léger in Cléty is a Catholic church located in the heart of the village, surrounded by a cemetery1. The church is of simple design, with a single nave and a semicircular apse2. It dates from the 16th or early 17th century and has a tower built in 1662 or 16651. The church has a benitier with a basin in brown marble in Louis XV style, a 0.68 m wooden statue from the 16th century of Sainte Anne, the Virgin and the Child Jesus, and a staircase to the top of the tower where a bell can be seen - there used to be two - with a diameter of 1.10 m, cast by Pierre Voulemin in 1678 and donated by Mary, wife of Adrien de Mames (Mametz), lord of Cléty

Enquin was located on the western edge of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais coal basin, which was mined on a large scale in the 19th century and around 1850 coal was also being sought in Enquin. Initially, the mine had a good yield. The mining company built a town with miners' houses between Enquin and Fléchinelle. In 1905, the name of the municipality was changed from Enquin to Enquin-les-Mines, referring to the mining. However, the mine suffered somewhat from poorer access and less large coal and ultimately proved to be unprofitable. The mine closed definitively in 1928.

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.
