Maubeuge

Maubeuge is a commune in the Nord department, located near the Belgian border at an elevation of about 30 meters. The town serves as an administrative center for the surrounding area and includes schools, shops, and other public facilities.

The settlement was founded in the year 661 and grew over centuries as an important crossroads. During the First World War, it suffered heavy destruction and was later honored with the Croix de guerre.

The regional architecture features stone and brick buildings constructed between the 17th and 19th centuries following the Tournai style.

The Route d'Assevent connects several neighborhoods and provides access to schools, supermarkets, and gas stations. Visitors will find all necessary daily services along this road.

Although the town is the largest commune in the Avesnes-sur-Helpe arrondissement, the administrative seat of the region itself is in Avesnes. This arrangement reflects the historical evolution of regional administrative boundaries.
