Saint Nicholas Church

Saint Nicholas Church is a Catholic place of worship in Wasquehal featuring a tall Gothic tower and white stone walls with pointed arch windows. The interior has a single nave that opens into a semicircular apse at its end.

A documented church has stood on this site since the 9th century, showing the long religious history of the place. The building that stands today was completed in 1929 and replaced the older structures that had occupied this location before.

The church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and reflects religious traditions that have shaped generations of visitors. The name and furnishings show how important this saint has been to the local community.

The church sits in the heart of Wasquehal on Rue d'Austerlitz and is easy to reach on foot. Those planning a visit should know that opening times are tied to regular services and ceremonies that take place throughout the week.

Archaeological digs in 1992 uncovered medieval tombs and foundations of the original church beneath the floor. These discoveries reveal that the current building was constructed over the remains of much older religious structures.
