The tower

I haven't much to say about the modern church touwer: I did'n't find anything about it. BUT there an interesting museum installed since 1838 in the former chapel of the Black Sisters, the structure is registered to the additional inventory of the Historic Monuments October 05 1945.

It groups together pictures, sculptures, earthenwares as well as a section devoted to the archeology. It possesses equally art bronzes modern.

A section is devoted to the statues: Holy john (originating site of the Castle Nine of Holy pol), rule and sculptured rocks of the destroyed former church in 1944, sculptured rocks of sandstone of the XVII° and XVII°siècles.

view from the castle park

PARK OF the CASTLE OF the COUNTS OF SAINT-POL It is in the charter of XIème century, granted by Roger who says "Count de Saint pol.", that for the first time, one evokes the existence of the Castle of Saint pol. Several times devastated during the history, it was destroyed for the last time in 1537 and never again its walls were raised. The development of the site of the Castle was conceived in order to make a teaching and entertaining place of it. Teaching, because this space offers a formidable support to the training of the local calcicole flora, shelters a woodland fauna made up of small mammals and common birds, vestiges of the Castle remains and is visible... Entertaining, because the marked topography of the site allows the practice of walk and the sporting course was designed in order to use the slopes as well as possible.
