Explore Religious Heritage Across Europe

The church was built from the end of the 13th century, on top of an old church owned by the Knights Templar. It was in the heart of a former Dominican convent, which has now disappeared. The church has elements of Gothic style, although the sobriety of its exterior appearance recalls Romanesque architecture. The presence of elements of Gothic style is particularly rare in Corsica. It is in fact a French style imported by religious orders. It is also the largest church on the island.

The church of Saint Dominique was built by the architect Georges Gaudibert from 1913, in reinforced concrete with a framework of bricks and agglomerated stones. It was only completed in 1921 because of the First World War. It is in a very particular Romanesque-Byzantine style and is an example of the architectural research carried out in France between 1910 and 1920. It has no bell tower and was originally intended to have a campanile, the base of which is visible from the corner of the two streets.

Saint-Édouard Church, known locally as the Church of the 12th, was built from 1899 to 1901 in the new mining town on the outskirts of Shaft No. 12 of the Lens mines, which began operating in 1894. The church is dedicated to Saint Edward, patron saint of Edouard Bollaert, director of the Lens mining company for forty-two years.

The church of Saint-Eloi, known as the cathedral of Les Sables, dates from the middle of the 15th century. In 1558, the French led by the marshal de Thermes invaded the town and burned the church. Only the tower remained. The reconstruction of the church began around 1560 under the direction of the master-builder Jean de Renneville. The old tower, separated from the new church by part of the ruins of the first church, remained isolated and was used as a belfry. The belfry is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the title Belfries of Belgium and France.

The nave is Romanesque and dates from around 1120, and the construction work finally lasted until the following century. The transept, also Romanesque, is slightly older, while the high windows and the cross vault were rebuilt in the 16th century.

Church built in the 13th century but disappeared after the Hundred Years War. The present building was erected between 1520 and 1612.

The present church is built on the site of the first Jesuit chapel built in 1610 and destroyed in 1740 in a fire. In 1743, the architect Dominique Delesalle drew up the plans for the new church and the foundation stone was laid under the direction of the architect François Joseph Gombert, who had already worked on the church of the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites in Lille.

Saint-Etienne is one of the most interesting Romanesque churches because of the purity of its style and architectural features. Built from the 11th century, it was listed as a National Monument in 1840.

The church of Saint-Etienne was built between 1855 and 1860. After several proposals, the project of the Haut-Rhin architect Jean-Baptiste Schacre was finally chosen, on the recommendation of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. The new neo-Gothic style building will have a bell tower-porch, a nave with side aisles, a transept, a choir surrounded by an ambulatory and radiating chapels. The original stained glass windows are partially preserved, those in the aisles were destroyed during the Second World War and replaced.

The church of Saint-Eusèbe, founded in the 11th century, is the church of the monastery of Saint-Eusèbe founded by Saint Pallade, bishop of Auxerre from 622 to 657. Its oldest foundation dates back to the 6th century. In 1523, the chevet of the church collapsed due to lack of maintenance. The reconstruction of the church began in 1530, possibly as part of a total reconstruction of the church, and used the Renaissance style.
