Gate to Cambrai

Highlight • Other

The Porte de Paris in Cambrai is an impressive remnant of the old city defences. Originally built to protect the southern entrance to the city, this gate dates from the end of the 14th century. The architecture of the gate is typical of the style of the time, with sturdy stone structures designed to withstand attacks.
The Porte de Paris is part of what was once a four-kilometre-long city wall, reinforced by around fifty towers and seven gates. This gate is one of the few remaining parts of these defences and offers a fascinating insight into medieval military architecture.

Ecluse de Thun Leveque

Highlight • Other

The Thun Leveque lock is a double lock located on the Scheldt canal, between the municipalities of Thun-l'Évêque and Iwuy, in the Nord department. It allows boats to overcome a difference in height of 2.5 meters between the two reaches of the canal. It is part of a series of five double locks which were built between 1825 and 1830 to improve navigation on the canalized Scheldt1. The Thun Leveque lock has been classified as a historic monument since 19922. It is surrounded by a landscaped park which dates from the 19th century and which belongs to the domain of the Château de Hamel, an 18th century residence which is also protected as architectural heritage3. The Thun Leveque lock is a place of passage and discovery for boaters, cyclists and hikers who use the Scheldt canal or the greenway which runs along it.

Thun-Saint-Martin, the little Venice of Cambrésis

Highlight • Settlement

Thun-Saint-Martin nicknamed as the little Venice of Cambrésis:
1° Sanctuary of the Unity of Schoenstatt: Chapel erected on the very spot where Joseph Engling, a young seminarian and one of the first disciples of the movement, was fatally shot on October 4, 1918. He would rest in the ossuary German from the military cemetery on the road to Solesmes in Cambrai. Throughout the year, pilgrims from all over the world come to visit this Marian sanctuary.
2° Manorial castle of the Herbais de Thun family
3° Saint-Martin Church (15th century)

Saint-Vaast Church in Iwuy

Highlight • Religious Site

The church was built in the second quarter of the 18th century and was expanded in the 19th century. The church has a sober facade, characterized by the height of the bell tower, which is 51 meters high. The tower is flanked by two round chapels. The variety of the shapes of the openings that pierce the four levels of the tower, and its two-tone, give it a lively appearance. The interior of the church has simple volumes and is basilical in design with one level of elevation. The aisles are separated from the nave by a series of Doric columns supporting an original coffered ceiling created in 1992. The walls of the side chapels are decorated with beautiful wooden panels from the 18th century. A beautiful wooden painting depicting Christ in chains and the axial chapel created by sculptor Bouchardon complete the rich decor of this church.
