Zudausques, a village in the French Flanders, near the town of Saint Omer, can been traced in ancient times, as its situation along the “Leulen”, an old Gallo-Roman route linking Therouanne to the sea, proves. A part of this route is on the Francigena pilgrim way.
The church is in the centre of the village and the actual state of the chalk stone blocks of which it is built shows several phases of construction and restoration. On the 12th century base is a 15th century sanctuary and the nave, dated 1774. It was completed by a central brick tower in the 19th century.
A simple plan for the church, like many village churches around, it has charm, underlined by elements of interior decoration of great interest such as the mortuary altar of black marble, and the ceramic by the artist and Benedictine monk Dom André Bouton.
This tour will allow you to discover a unique regional art, produced by monk artists from the first part of the 20th century.....
Discover the works of the monk-artist François MES! Walk around 3 churches that benefited from his talents after the Second World War.
