With its bell tower separate from the church

The photos of the castle and the waterfalls are from Potelle Castle and do not belong here at all.

The Monument La Sagesse in Le Quesnoy is a classical sculpture created in 1913 by Pierre Laurent. It is a figurative, profane image that was exhibited at the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français. The statue has since been classified as a historical monument. The monument is made of stone and is designed in a classical style. It shows a female figure symbolizing wisdom, with detailed sculptural elements that emphasize the artist's skill.

The Porte Faurœulx is part of the fortified city walls built between the 15th and 17th centuries. These walls were built to protect the city from attacks and sieges. The gate itself dates from this period and is a remnant of the military architecture of the time. The gate is designed in a Renaissance style with strongly fortified walls and gateways strategically placed to protect the city. It has a circular plan and is built of brick and stone, which is typical of the military architecture of the period.

A beautiful, striking building that is actually quite recent.

The original church on this site was Sainte-Marguerite, built around 1416. It was destroyed during the French Revolution in 1794. The current church was built between 1826 and 1829 after several architectural plans and revisions. The church was damaged during both world wars but has since been restored. The church is designed in a neoclassical style with a basilica plan. It has a neoclassical facade and a neo-Tuscan bell tower that is 26 meters high. Inside, the nave is divided by six stone columns and lit by 14 windows, while the choir receives light from two beautiful windows and a lantern. The interior of the church is decorated with beautiful stucco decorations illustrating the Immaculate Conception, as well as stained glass windows depicting various names of the Virgin Mary. The main altar shows an image of Mary helping Jesus crush the head of the serpent, a symbol of death and sin. There are also two large paintings, probably by a pupil of Titian, depicting the Annunciation and the Nativity.
