Église Saint-Vincent de Marcq-en-Barœul, Protected religious monument in Marcq-en-Barœul, France.

Église Saint-Vincent is a Catholic church at 14 place du Général-de-Gaulle in Marcq-en-Barœul. Its pale grey stone tower carries a round clock with Roman numerals between two narrow slits, above a pointed-arch window with trefoil tracery; the steep dark slate spire has flared eaves. The nave walls are pale masonry on a darker stone base, with tall pointed-arch windows divided by stone mullions.

The original church dates from the 12th century and was completed in the early 16th century, making it the oldest building in Marcq-en-Barœul. Abandoned for a few years after the Revolution, it was restored under the Empire and enriched with artworks from the recently demolished Collégiale Saint-Pierre in Lille. In 1865 the growing population led to the widening and raising of the nave aisles, turning it into a hallekerk. Damaged in the First World War, it was restored again after the Armistice, and its bell tower was inscribed as a monument historique on 3 December 1987.

The church gave its name to the Bourg district that grew around it, the historic heart of Marcq-en-Barœul. Inside, four carved wooden confessionals and choir stalls depicting fourteen founders of religious orders can be seen. Two paintings by Pharaon de Winter, L'Adoration des bergers and Les saintes femmes au tombeau, are also kept here.

The church is easily accessible via the Métropole Européenne de Lille transport network, which links the suburb to the broader regional system. Keep in mind that access may be restricted during services, so it is wise to check ahead if you plan to visit the interior.

The tower-belfry alone is listed as a monument historique, by decree of 3 December 1987, and belongs to the commune. The church is the oldest building in Marcq-en-Barœul, begun in the 12th century and completed in the early 16th. Inside, the stalls depict fourteen founders of religious orders.
