The Holy Church Vulfran Abbeville, was built from the late fifteenth century.
The building was not completed until 1663, and the top windows of the apse have been laid in 1691!
The church is considered a masterpiece of the Gothic style. Its facade is particularly noteworthy, surrounded by high towers of 55 m which also allowed to watch potential foes. The rose, the gallery, the Renaissance statues of the same facade are just as beautiful, the portal and its wooden doors reflecting the unique expertise of artisans Picard of the time.
Remarkable is the external stair leading to the bells, disrupting the symmetry of the facade.
