NOTRE-DAME-DES-VICTOIRES CHURCH

This 1930 th century church is located in the Faubourg de Béthune district, due to its imposing red brick building fortified with coloured ceramics, dating from the s and inspired by Dutch Art Deco style, in the form of hallekerque (church-hall, as we see so much in Flanders). The broad iron porch impresses. The church consists of a massive steeple, which contains a carillon that is metres from the ground and has no fewer than eight bells, which unfortunately are rarely used. Indeed, the neighborhood in which the church is implanted remains outside the building of the city fortifications following its extension in 1858, which left Notre-Dame-des-Victoires a little in retreat.
