Thérouanne, Medieval administrative division in Pas-de-Calais, France
Thérouanne is a small commune in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France, situated in a flat landscape typical of the northern plains. The village spreads across about 8 square kilometers with scattered houses, farmland, and a church at its center.
This settlement was originally the capital of the Celtic Morini tribe and later became a major Roman administrative center. During the medieval period, it grew into an important bishop's seat and held centuries of religious and political importance.
The Church of Saint-Martin, rebuilt in the 19th century, shows the religious history that shaped this place over the centuries. Walking through the village today, you can see how the community has kept its spiritual traditions alive.
The village is accessible by local roads and sits in an agricultural area with limited shops or services. Visitors should plan time to explore the church ruins and archaeological sites that reveal traces of the former settlement.
In 1553, Emperor Charles V ordered the complete destruction of the settlement, forcing it to relocate and rebuild outside its original walls. This devastating event left deep marks on how the village developed and took shape afterward.
