Sainte-Catherine Church, Lille
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.
