The church dedicated to the Mother of God under the title "Notre-Dame de Lorette" rises in brilliant white and is visible from far away. But the brilliant impression is deceptive, at the latest when the visitor to the site realizes that they are in a huge military cemetery. Around 20,000 individual graves and a further 23,000 victims of war and tyranny buried in ossuaries are deeply disturbing.

Gorre British and Indian Cemetery is a cemetery in Gorre, France. It contains the graves of over 900 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the First World War. The cemetery was designed by Charles Holden and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Gorre Castle was occupied early in the war by troops serving with the British Expeditionary Force and the Indian Corps, and the burial ground, located in the south-east corner of the original castle grounds, was begun in the autumn of 1914. The Indian section of the cemetery was closed in October 1915, shortly before the Indian infantry divisions left France for redeployment to the Middle East. Many of those now buried in Plots V and VI of the British section of the cemetery were killed during the Battle of Estaires in April 1918.

The Église Saint-Martin in Habarcq is a historic building with a rich history. It was originally built in the 13th century by Jehan de Habarcq, but was quickly destroyed and burned during the conflicts between Louis the French Revolution. The church has a number of unique features, including the fact that it was originally a chapel attached to the de Habarcq family castle. It only became a parish church in 1806. Inside the church there were windows (which are still visible) that allowed the gentlemen to attend religious ceremonies without having to move. Built in the Gothic style, the church has a number of interesting architectural features, including richly decorated windows depicting vegetative and animal motifs from the medieval bestiary. Above the first window you can see the coat of arms of the Count of Lens, lord of Habarcq. The church is located in the heart of the village and is partly hidden by its proximity to the castle. The interior is completely covered in woodwork and paneling, said to come from a cedar tree from Lebanon that once stood in the castle's park and was uprooted by a storm in 1940.
