Church located in the heart of the city, between Lille Flandres station and the Grand-Place.
Right in the heart of the city, between Lille Flandres station and the Grand-Place, this church is one of Lille's jewels. Built between the 14th and late 19th centuries in a neo-Gothic style, it impresses with the size of its nave, choir and transepts, not to mention its broad facade, with the bell tower with its endless openwork spire planted in the middle. The church houses an exceptional collection of works from former convents in the city. Its majestic stained-glass windows date from the late 19th century and are the work of Lille glass painter Charles Gaudelet (some of the windows were restored following their destruction in the bombardments of the First and Second World Wars). Today, Saint-Maurice church is one of the three bell towers of the Saint-Eubert parish. It hosts exhibitions and cultural events. It is also a haven of peace in the city, where people stop to rest, pray and reconcile with God.

The stained glass windows are stunning, especially when sunlight streams through and colors the interior in a soft, spiritual glow. Every detail — from the arches to the altars — speaks to centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. You don’t need to be religious to appreciate the serenity and historical depth this church offers.
It’s free to enter, which makes it a must-visit whether you’re exploring Lille for the day or just wandering the old town. Great spot to slow down, take in the silence, and feel the weight of history. A hidden gem for lovers of architecture, culture, and calm.
