The abbey church is 11th century; the northeastern side of the tower, which serves as a portal, is still original. The church was rebuilt in the 13th and 16th centuries. The new vaults were lower, which is why it is so dark. Inside, view the capital friezes to the right of the nave, and two 18th century paintings: above the high altar "The Vision of St Dominic" by Jouvenet; left in the chapelle Notre-dame, "The entry into the monastery of St-Austreberthe" by Restout.

The chapel of the former hospital now belongs to Best Western Hotel Hermitage. It was rebuilt in 1874 by Clovis Normand, a pupil of Violet-le-Duc and architect of the Neuville Carthusian monastery. The portal in Flamboyant Gothic (15th century) is still there. The chapel is notable for its high spire.

Saint Firmin Church, Marles-sur-Canche

Highlight • Other

The Bras de Bronne, a tributary of the Canche that crosses the city, once served as a natural border. While part of the village was in Artois, the bell tower was in Boulogne: the parish came under the diocese of Boulogne. The patron saint is the founder of the neighboring diocese, Firmin, first bishop of Amiens. In the choir is a beautiful effigy of the saint, sculpted in the 16th century. Marles-Sur-Canche and its parish church dedicated to Saint Firmin contain treasures such as the statue of Saint Nicolas from the 16th century, the bronze bells from 1805 or the Altar from the 18th century. Despite its humble appearance, its history is set in stone. The building combines a sober nave with a beautiful choir in Flamboyant Gothic style, more slender. This contrast between the two sides is astonishing. The Saint Firmin church is thus strongly marked by the architectural heritage of the 15th century. The Marlois are attached to their church which, despite regular work since 1812 and the numerous renovations, shows a worrying state of health, visible by the numerous deteriorations: cracks, detachment of the cladding, broken stones, crumbling, weakened masonry of the buttresses, decaying structural wood.
