Église Saint-Éloi d'Hazebrouck

The Saint-Eloi church stretches 77 meters high with its white stone spire and features impressive geometric brick patterns on its walls including Saint Andrew's crosses.

Built in 1432, the church suffered severe damage when French troops set it on fire in 1492, and later during World War II when German forces destroyed its spire.

The south chapel, constructed in 1551 by the crossbowmen's guild, represents the strong connection between religious buildings and local organizations in Flanders.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands at Square Saint-Éloi, with coordinates 50.719261, 2.535568 for precise navigation.

The church walls display intricate brick motifs forming a rampant lion and a double-headed eagle with spread wings.
