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).

Thérouanne

Highlight • Settlement

Thérouanne is stop 77 of Sigeric on his return journey from Canterbury to Rome. The town is also located on the historic road between Boulogne and Arras (Chaussée Brunehaut). In the 16th century, this fortified town was a French enclave within the German Empire, but was razed to the ground by Charles V in 1553. On the hill to the north of the town lie the remains of one of the first cathedrals built in the Gothic style in France. The famous Grand dieu de Thérouanne, which once adorned one of the portals, is now in the cathedral of St-Omer.
