Saint-Sulpice Church, Amettes
Highlight • Other
The village of Amettes and its church are indeed closely linked to the personality of Saint Benoît Joseph Labre, son of a farming family from the village. Thus, in the church we can find numerous testimonies of the life and death of the “Wanderer of God”, beatified in 1860 and canonized in 1881: the baptismal font on which he was baptized in 1748 or the historic altar of the church where he served mass; but also more personal memories of Benoît Joseph: objects that belonged to him and relics of this great pilgrim, poor among the poor, such as the sedan chair on which he died in Rome in 1783. The contemporary stained glass windows of the choir tell the life and expression of the spirituality of the holy pilgrim.
The church also preserves elegant furniture from the 18th century, as well as, in the right chapel, bas-reliefs around the Blessed Sacrament, works by the artist Jean Lambert-Rucky.

The Compagnie des mines de Ligny-lès-Aire was nationalized in 1946 and became part of the Auchel Group. Because production was too low, the well was closed in 1950 and the well was filled.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Charbonnages de France materialized the head of well No. 3. Only one building remains of the well. Conical slag heap no. 34 was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List on June 30, 2012.
