An edifice dedicated to the Virgin built in the 19th century, in 1856, the construction of which lasted until 1999, and thus spread over several generations of architects.
Cathedral with a Latin cross plan and projecting transept. The main façade is a gable wall, with a semicircular arch rising over the entire elevations, framing a rose window. A portal pierces this same facade on its first level.
Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille Cathedral's first stone was laid on July 1st, 1854. The last was sealed in December 1999. It was Saint Pius Lille in 1913, with the basilica as its cathedral.
The church of Sainte-Catherine is linked to the history of Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille, patron saint of the city of Lille. The statue had been saved from the destruction of the collegiate church of Saint-Pierre, and was sheltered for a time in the church of Sainte-Catherine. The building, in its present state, was rebuilt in the 15th and early 16th centuries, and then remodelled in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
Sainte-Catherine Catholic Church at Vieux-Lille is one of the oldest churches in Lille, traces of which can be found in the 12th century. Its tower-belfry has the oldest bell in the town dated 1403 and called Marie.
