Synagogue in Lille

The competition for a church and presbytery project was decided in 1868, and was won by the architect Alfred Coisel, who carried out the construction of the building between 1869 and 1874.

The church was erected by the architect Jules Batigny between 1875 and 1878 and again between 1895 and 1898. The bell tower was only completed in 1928 by the architect Charles Sarazin. Although made of reinforced concrete, it did not withstand the weather and had to be entirely restored between 2005 and 2008.

The church of Saint-Maurice, located a stone's throw from the Lille Flandres railway station, was erected from the end of the 14th century to the end of the 19th century as a hall church with vessels of the same height and width. It is Philippe Canissié, architect of the town, who directed the overall restoration of the church between 1859 and 1875.
