The Chartreuse Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs de la Boutilerie was founded by Jean Le Vasseur, mayor of Lille. The first stone was laid on August 11, 1618, the work was completed in 1641. The monastery was very visited. Behind a monumental entrance gate and thick surrounding wall stood two towers housing the clock and the carillon. The library housed more than 2,300 books. The 92 meter long vaulted cloister was glazed and paved. The church, paved with white and black marble, was decorated with paintings by Arnoult Vuez. The altar was topped by a painting by Rubens. With the revolution, the Chartreuse was delivered into the hands of demolitionists. Postcards from the beginning of the 20th century still showed the monumental entrance gate in neoclassical style and the surrounding wall. During the First World War, the remains of the Chartreuse were marked by the conflict which was only a few hundred meters from the front line. The destruction caused the abbey to disappear, leaving only a few vestiges of the surrounding wall.
