Cantimpré Lock

Highlight • Other

The Écluse de Cantimpré in Cambrai is a historic lock that played an important role in the development of the region's waterways. It was built in 1900 as part of the modernisation of the regional waterway network, as required by the Charles Freycinet law in 1879.
The lock is equipped with two lock chambers, each 38 metres long and 5 metres wide, making it accessible to Flemish peniches and facilitating shipping. The lock is located at the junction of the canalised Scheldt and the Saint-Quentin Canal, and was part of the important port of Cantimpré, which was built in 1862.
Today, the port of Cantimpré is mainly a pleasure port, but in the past it was a busy trading post with more than a hundred ships passing through every day.

Gate of the former episcopal palace

Highlight • Monument

The portal of the former archbishop's palace in Cambrai is a magnificent example of 17th century architecture. This portal, which is part of the current sub-prefecture, was built in 1625 by Archbishop François Vanderburch and decorated by the sculptor Gaspard Marsy.
Designed in the style of the Flemish Renaissance, the portal contains impressive decorative elements such as sculpted tympanums and graceful columns. It is made of blue stone from Soignies and white stone for the decorative elements. The portal has been classified as a historical monument since 1921.

Fondation Vanderburch

Highlight • Other

In 1626, Monsignor Vanderburch, Archbishop of Cambrai, founded the Sainte-Agnès house, intended for the education of poor young girls from Cambrai and Cateau-Cambrésis. Burned down in 1918 and 1986, the building retains its original portal, sculpted by Jaspar Marsy. Accented by engaged Doric columns with bossage, it is surmounted by an ogee pediment with the founder's coat of arms.

Place du 9 octobre

Highlight • Monument

Place du 9 octobre is a famous place in Cambrai, France. The square was designed by architect Pierre Leprince-Ringuet in 1919 to improve the connection between the north-south and east-west axes of the city. The name of the square commemorates the entry of the Canadian troops into Cambrai on 9 October 1918.
In the middle of the square is a monument in honour of Edmond Garin, the mayor of Cambrai from 1919 to 1925. The monument has a bas-relief depicting the "Goutte de Lait" (Drop of Milk), a charity initiative he supported.

Place Aristide Briand

Highlight • Historical Site

Place Aristide Briand in Cambrai is a historically important site that was completely destroyed by German troops in 1918. The square was rebuilt between 1924 and 1932, according to a design by architect Pierre Leprince-Ringuet. The reconstruction combined Art Deco and regionalist styles, with specific guidelines for the buildings, including a minimum width of 6 meters, three levels and mansard roofs. The square has retained its harmonious appearance over the years and remains a central part of Cambrai's architectural heritage.

Cambrai Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Located in the Hauts-de-France region, Cambrai Town Hall is a magnificent example of neoclassical architecture. The building houses three impressive state rooms: the ceremonial hall, the white salon and the banqueting hall1. One of the most striking features of the town hall are the murals by Emile Flamant, painted between 1927 and 1931, which depict the history of the town and its famous figures1.

In addition, Martin and Martine, the two "jacquemarts" (mechanical automatons), are a unique sight. They have been striking the hours on the town hall's clock tower since 1512.

Saint-Géry Church

Highlight • Other

Founded in the sixth century, it is the oldest church in the city. It became the abbey church of Saint-Aubert in the eleventh century. Rebuilt between 1697 and 1745, it illustrates two architectural traditions: the Baroque of the Netherlands and French classicism. At the crossing of the transept, there is an unparalleled blue stone canopy. Its function as a warehouse for goods confiscated from the clergy during the revolution saved it from destruction. The church houses many works of art, including the Entombment by Rubens (1616) and the rood screen by Jaspard Marsy (1635), now transformed into an organ gallery.
