Church of Saint-Maurice
Église Saint-Maurice
A classic Flemish Gothic hall church with five aisles of equal height, located between the train station and the Grand-Place.
Begun in the 14th century and completed in the 19th, the Church of Saint-Maurice is one of Lille's oldest parish churches. It follows the hallekerque (hall church) design typical of the north, and its five aisles of equal height make the interior unusually spacious and bright. The stained-glass windows and wooden pulpit are well worth a close look. Entry is free. Located on Rue de Paris, it is about a three-minute walk from Lille-Flandres station, making it an easy stop on the way in or out of town.
