The construction of the Calais Town Hall was decided upon following the merger of the municipalities of Calais and Saint-Pierre. Work began in 1911 under the direction of the Dunkirk architect Louis Debrouwer. It is a precursor to the style, using reinforced concrete for reinforcement and red bricks as the cladding. Work was suspended during the First World War. Work on the Calais Town Hall was completed in 1923, and was officially inaugurated in 1925. The style is regionalist, with an architectural blend of Flemish and Renaissance styles.

Located in the heart of Calais, the town hall and its bell tower are considered one of the most beautiful in France and are the subject of many photos and selfies!

If you're in Calais, don't miss the town hall. It's beautiful both inside and out. Parking is also readily available at the town hall (September 2025).

Construction of the Sacré-Coeur church began in 1867, and although it was not completed due to lack of funds, it was opened for worship in 1871. Work did not resume until 1877, finally being completed in 1892 with the addition of the bell tower.

In 1882, Father Debras was already thinking about building a sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Seeing the deplorable state of the district known as "Cailloux", he intended to echo the Marian devotion of Father G. Bellanger (1861-1902) within this somewhat isolated space, north of the city, while paying homage to the Patron Saint of soldiers. Having never seen the completion of his work, it was Father Debout who took over the work in 1906. The new parish therefore acquired a vicar, Father Peugnet, who launched the bulletin "Notre-Dame des Armées" and a subscription to raise funds to continue the work on the church. However, the 1914-1918 war forced him to delay the work. Subscriptions declined, partly due to the devaluation, but, as a parish bulletin mentions, the number of faithful praying "for the salvation of France, for the protection of their soldiers, to obtain the grace of courage and resignation" increased. After the war, with numerous appeals in the local press and the Voix de Notre-Dame, Father Peugnet relaunched a special subscription for donors of 500 francs: "the godfathers and godmothers of Notre-Dame." Postcards with the caption "Subscribe in memory of our soldiers" were published at each stage of construction. Indeed, from an estimated cost of 100,000 francs in 1914, the expenditure rose to over a million francs. On December 2, 1940, the Kommandantur requisitioned the Cailloux Church for a service in memory of 18 teenage members of the Hitler Youth, killed the previous morning by a bomb from a lone plane, while they were gathering at the end of Cosmorama Street (Rue Monseigneur Piedfort) waiting for trucks to transport them to the construction sites on the coast. After the German occupation, the church was returned to worship.

The Calais Protestant church was built during the interwar period, inaugurated in 1934, and restored to worship[1]. A first Methodist church, located on Rue du Pont-Lottin in Calais, was built in 1868 for the French-speaking faithful of the Methodist Church of Saint-Pierre-lès-Calais. In 1938, this community joined the Reformed Church of France, and the organ was restored and then transferred. The only liturgical elements present in this Protestant church are the pulpit, the communion table, an open Bible, and a cross.
