Hesdin, Administrative commune in Pas-de-Calais, France

The northern French commune of Hesdin extends over 10.9 square kilometers in the Hauts-de-France region, with an elevation ranging from 23 to 34 meters.

The original fortified settlement was destroyed in 1553 by Emperor Charles V, leading to the construction of a new town 6 kilometers away on the Canche river.

The Thursday market in Hesdin maintains local traditions by offering regional produce, while the annual Cochon Rose festival features an extensive flea market in August.

The town hall of Hesdin, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2005, functions as the central administrative building for local government services.

During the 11th century, the chateau of Robert II contained mechanical automata installations, including mechanical monkeys and advanced fountain systems.
