World War Memorial at Ardres

Highlight • Historical Site

The artist was inspired by the famous phrase of the supreme and truly Cornelian call: "Arise, the dead!" ".
This call is proclaimed by a grenadier with a greatcoat half torn by the explosions; he steps over a gabion and prepares to launch the deadly projectile towards the enemy: the poilu is alive and the stone seems alive.
Despite the difficulties in the execution, the artist fortunately managed to avoid any heaviness, he was able to give the stone all the desired and possible flexibility.
Ardres was kind enough, in keeping with the erection of this magnificent monument, to honour the memory of the 82 heroes and their children who died gloriously during the Great War.

The sower

Highlight • Other

Clerques is een charming dorpje met historische schatten, gelegen in een groene vallei doorkruist door de rivier de Hem. In de buurt van het stadshuis staat het sculptuur: the sower the statue of the Sower. According to various internet sources, it symbolizes the friendship between the municipalities of Clerques and Klerken in Belgium. 3.60 meters high, this statue is cast on a copper frame and is the work of Harry Covemaecker. On the base we can read these words taken from the words of the Peasant's Creed, signed Francisque and Stéphane Borel (de zaaier)

Saint Bartholomew's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church is interesting for its fine central tower from the late 12th century, although the south and west facades were recreated in 1663. Inside the building, you will discover the bronze clock dating from the thirteenth century and still in service. Wooden statues of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, among which are represented St. Adrian, St. Anne and St. Wulmer, but also a remarkable Madonna and child will not leave you.

Norbertins Abbey

Highlight • Other

The former Norbertine abbey was renovated in the 18th century. The high nave and some buildings from the 18th century are still there. They now house the presbytery, the town hall and the school. The monks introduced turkeys to Licques in the 17th century. Only the church remains of the abbey, but the turkeys are still there and have made the town famous. Every year in December, the fête de la Dinde is celebrated.
