"The church, under the patronage of Saint-Omer, was destroyed by the Burgundians at the end of the 16th century and was not really rebuilt until 1767, shortly before the revolution.

Restored in brick, in a Gothic style, the religious building has a pulpit and a rather remarkable confessional, dating from 1740.

At the end of the cemetery, behind the church is a small chapel, that of Sainte Isbergues. A legend tells of a fountain of devotion, that of Saint Isbergues, which is said to have the property of curing diseases of the eyes."

" L’église, placée sous le patronage de Saint-Omer, fut détruite par les Bourguignons à la fin du XVIème siècle et ne fut véritablement reconstruite qu’en 1767, peu de temps avant la révolution.

Restauré en briques, dans un style gothique, l’édifice religieux possède une chaire et un confessionnal assez remarquable, datant de 1740.

Au fond du cimetière, derrière l’église se trouve une petite chapelle, celle de Sainte Isbergues. Une légende fait état d’une fontaine de dévotion, celle de Sainte Isbergues, qui aurait la propriété de guérir les maladies des yeux."
