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.

Citadel of Montreuil

Highlight • Castle

The Citadel of Montreuil is a 16th century pre-Vauban royal citadel located in Montreuil in the Pas-de-Calais department. It is built on the foundations of a medieval royal castle and classified as a historic monument in 1926.
The citadel is the defensive redoubt of the town of Montreuil (Pas-de-Calais). It is a spur on the left bank of the Canche valley, the former border of the counties of Ponthieu and Boulonnais. The fortified site placed under its protection the port infrastructures of the city of Montreuil, which have now disappeared.
