Église Sainte-Catherine de Lille, Gothic church in Old Lille, France
The church structure contains three naves of equal height following the Flemish hallekerque design, with stone walls and a large square tower.
Established as a parish in 1288, the current building dates from the late 14th century, with its tower constructed in 1504 containing Lille's oldest bell.
The interior displays numerous artworks, including paintings by Victor Mottez and wooden furniture crafted in the 1800s following Gothic architectural principles.
Located at 14 Terrasse Sainte Catherine, the church opens Wednesday through Saturday from 13:30 to 17:30 during school holidays, with free admission.
The church tower served as an optical telegraph station in 1795, connecting the city to a wider communication network during the French Revolution.
