Saint-André Church, Lille

The Church of Saint-André was built in the 17th century as a chapel, that of the Unshod Carmelites who had recently arrived in Lille. The work started in 1701 and the architect is Thomas-Joseph Gombert. The work, interrupted by the siege of Lille and the Succession Wars of Spain, continued under the direction of the nephew of the original architect, François-Joseph Gombert.

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.

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.
