Saint-André Church, Lille
The parish church of St. Andrew has existed since the 13th century but was located at the rampart of St. Andrew. Damaged by shells during the siege of 1708 by the imperial army, it was finally destroyed in 1784. The chapel of the convent of the Discalced Carmelites, Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel, later renamed Saint-André parish church, was used.
