Audruicq, Administrative commune in Pas-de-Calais, France
Audruicq is a small commune in Pas-de-Calais with a village center where the Church of St. Martin stands as a prominent landmark dating to the 18th century. The settlement sits in flat countryside surrounded by farmland and open fields that define its rural character.
The area was founded in 1175 by Baldwin II, Count of Flanders, who drained marshes and built a fortress to establish a stronghold. Over centuries, this medieval settlement evolved into the modern commune that stands today.
The main square centers on the Church of St. Martin, which has long served as the heart of community life where residents gather for celebrations and events. Local markets and festivals continue to bring the village together around shared traditions.
The village sits about 18 kilometers southeast of Calais and connects easily to larger towns in the region. Visitors can explore the quiet village area on foot and find local amenities in the center near the church.
The village is connected to pilot Gilbert Brazy, who vanished in 1928 during an Arctic expedition with explorer Roald Amundsen. This story ties the small commune to the great exploration journeys of that era.
