About this building
It is one of the rare churches which has a belfry over the porch, whose steeple is of stone and hooks of stone. This curious architectural particularity is characteristic of the southern Low Countries, of which Artois was part during the period that saw the construction of the church at the beginning of the 17th Century. It is also the only part of the church which survived the revolutionary destructions, which necessitated the reconstruction of the ship at the beginning of the 19th Century.
