The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ce lieu de culte est construit, dans la première moitié du 19ème siècle, dans un style néoclassique. En 1928, l’architecte Cordonnier est missionné pour transformer l’entrée du petit édifice. Il plaque, sur la façade, le portail démonté de la chapelle du fort Saint-Louis, d’Aire-sur-la-Lys. Fortement endommagée lors de la Seconde Guerre, la chapelle sera restaurée en 1947.

This place of worship was built in the first half of the 19th century in neoclassical style. In 1928, the architect Cordonnier was commissioned to transform the entrance of the small building. He affixed to the façade the dismantled portal from the chapel of the fort Saint-Louis, Aire-sur-la-Lys. Severely damaged during the Second World War, the chapel was restored in 1947.
