"The church of St. Riquier is a reconstruction, it dates from 1859 and was carried out by Charles Leroy, Lille architect advocating a return to Gothic architecture (1816 - 1879).

It replaces a smaller church of the sixteenth century that fell into ruin in the mid-nineteenth century after being used for the manufacture of saltpetre during the Revolution.

The church does not open a door with a pointed arch. It is surmounted by a stained glass rose of two blind twin bays. The bell tower has four pinnacles.

The nave has three vessels and a high and salient transept. All the bays are ogive shaped. The covering of the choir with three sides is at the same level as that of the nave. The whole is made of bricks and slates. "
