Thérouanne was Sigeric's 77th stop on his return from Canturbey's pilgrimage to Rome. In the 19th century, this fortified town was a French enclave within the German Empire, but was razed by Charles V in 1553. On the hill north of the town are the remains of one of the first cathedrals built in the Gothic style in France. The famous Great God of Thérouanne, which adorned one of the portals, is now housed in Saint-Omer Cathedral.

This is one of the finest examples of the Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance in French Flanders. The imposing tower (62m) resembles that of Notre-Dame in Saint-Omer. Inside, the pattern of the ribs of the vaults has been transferred to the floor. The choir is closed by a beautiful rood screen; on the left is the gilded statue of Notre-Dame Panetière. The oak organ case comes from the abbey church of Clamarais. Choir and apse suffered from a bombardment in 1944. In the back you can see a beautiful Virgin and Child (15th century)

The current church took over the continuation of the Romanesque church consecrated in 1166 for the canon chapter inaugurated by Baudouin V in 1059. It was built between 1492 and 1634 and was carved from stone inside and out. Note the dates of progress of the work - the collegiate church of Saint-Pierre has been a parish church since 1803. When the successive wars (particularly the siege of 1710 and the bombing of August 8, 1944) repeatedly severely damaged the building it was always rebuilt according to the original plan3. The collegiate church was listed as a historical monument in 1862 and was restored several times in the 20th century (Wikipedia).
