Notre-Dame de Bon-Secours Church
The church of the Pont district gets its name from an ancient chapel which disappeared during the French Revolution.
Launched in 1876 the pastiche Neo-Romanesque building in local brick (the Debosque brickworks in the rue de Gand supplied the 80 000 bricks necessary for its construction) was finished over the first days of the following year and the second church in Nieppe received its solemn benediction on 8 January 1877.
After 1914-18 the bell tower was not rebuilt for financial reasons.
During its partial reconstruction the facade underwent successful changes : a small mosaic to the tympanum, a beautiful rose window and a bell turret.
The church was rebuilt in two phases and inaugurated on 6 October 1929 by Monseigneur Jansoone, auxiliary bishop of Lille.
In the chancel can be found furniture dating from the end of the 19th century, including the altar of Notre-Dame with ils reredos representing the dormition of the Virgin Mary, dated 1900.
The town of Nieppe only officially acquired the building in 1985.
