Discovering the church of Saint Ranulf, named after a local saint who was the source of a miraculous spring, means tracing the history of this Heritage Village back to the First World War, when the village was completely destroyed before being rebuilt in the 1930s. It's also a journey to the heart of the Canadian Reconquest. -

The church of Offerkerque is remarkable for its architecture, and was built in the continuity of realisations by the Benedictine monk of Wisques, and architect Dom Bellot, in the Isle of Wight, the Netherlands, Canada, and France. <p>The church is unique in its style in the Pas de Calais, and is among the realisations inspired by Dom Bellot, and realised by Joseph Philippe the architect of this church (with Gustave Vandenbergue) and a pupil and successor. </p><p>We recognise the mark of the ‘Bellot style’ in the openings in the shape of a mitre, characteristic of these architects. It is not surprising that some of the interior decoration comes from the monks of Wisques. </p> -

Situated in the heart of a Ternois commune that has been awarded the ‘Village Patrimoine’ label, the church Saint Sulpicius has undergone a number of restorations. The most important of these was carried out by the architect Clovis Normand at the end of the 19th century. The bell tower-porch, which has been protected as a Historic Monument since 1906, is thought to have remained intact since the end of the 15th century.
