Culture and History
The Abbaye de la Capelle was a Benedictine abbey founded around 1090/1093 by Ida, Countess of Boulogne. As a result of the siege of Calais, it fell into ruin; remains are still preserved today.
The municipal media library of Les Attaques offers cultural events throughout the year.
The municipal media library of Les Attaques organises hands-on workshops led by Claudie for accompanied children on one Wednesday per month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The Église Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens was built between 1866 and 1868, replacing an older chapel that had become too small for the growing population. It was designed by the architect Amédée Stensmaght. The church combines red brick with stone from Tournehem; this combination of materials is considered typical of the architectural heritage of the Calais region.
