Auchy-Lès-Hesdin: Holiday Apartments and Houses
In the centre of Auchy-lès-Hesdin stands the Abbey Church of Saint-Silvin and Saint-Georges, which bears witness to the village’s monastic history.
Culture
The large pillars of the nave of this abbey church are remnants of the first abbey church. The reredos above the high altar features a “Lamentation”, attributed to Van Dyck or his workshop.
The later use of the former abbey grounds is also part of the village’s history: in 1805, they were converted into a cotton mill for M. Grivel, while the church served as a storage facility at that time. The former cotton mill has been disused since June 1989.
