The church of St. Peter and St. Paul proudly stands on the Place de l\u2019Abbaye in Warneton. It impresses by its majestic stature and beautiful neo-Romanesque, Byzantine-inspired architecture. Even though Warneton was never the seat of a bishopric, its nickname Cathedral of the Lys seems well deserved indeed. There are many attributes to admire inside this imposing building: the Art Deco decoration, the flamed sandstone, the figurative stained-glass windows, the choir stalls and the crypt.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Rebuilt after the First World War, the church is adorned with Art Deco elements, an artistic movement which attained its golden age in the 1920s. You can admire sconces, a lectern and a magnificent wrought-iron chandelier of truly spectacular dimensions. The beautiful architectural symmetry and geometric wall reliefs harmonise with symbolic numbers and underline the Byzantine inspiration, itself reinforced by the vast central vault.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In 1924, reconstruction work on the church had to be stopped when the choir of the old church revealed a buried treasure: two painted tombs that had been lost in the night of time. But who lay in the larger tomb? \u00a0And who was his or her eternal companion? \u00a0The identification generated a great deal of controversy. But the doubts were soon dispelled as the polychrome coat of arms on the great tomb provided precious clues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Did charming little cherub heads or benevolent saints protect the magnificent Baroque choir stalls of Warneton\u2019s former abbey church and save them from destruction during the First World war? These anyway had an eventful journey from their rescue by a German officer to their return to the choir of the rebuilt church. An incredible fate for these stalls dating from 1714, whose cherubs charitably supported monks and abbots during so many services…<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the 11th century, William and Phagala gave their son John a religious education. He became a canon at the Lille collegiate church, then at Mont-Saint-Eloi. Was he then already thinking of giving an abbey to his native parish? Once named bishop of Th\u00e9rouanne in 1099, there was however not enough time left for John of Warneton to realise his dream. His successor, bishop Milo I, made it a reality in 1138.

Built in 1138, Warneton Abbey contributed to the city\u2019s prosperity in the Middle Ages. Thirty-five abbots followed one another until the abbey grounds were dismantled in the aftermath of the French Revolution. Today, some of the monastic tradition however still lives at the heart of the \u2018city of Mountches\u2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The inhabitants of Warneton are nicknamed Mountches in memory of the monks of yesteryear. This is a curious mixture of Picard and Flemish to mischievously refer to a little monk!
