TOWN PRESENTATION
  • A village on the outskirts of the city's neighbor and partner of Seclin Tourist Office Seclin Houplin-Ancoisne is mainly known today by the Mosaic Park and walks along the canal or Seclin Deûle. Do you know his history? We invite you to discover or rediscover.
  • History:

Ses origines remontent au néolithique, le nom de la commune nous renseigne sur ses premiers "habitants"." onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">> Its origins date back to Neolithic times, the name of the town tells us about his first "inhabitants". For some, the name comes from Houplin op - "on" - and flax - "lake" -. This hypothesis would confirm the archaeological discoveries have unearthed remnants of piles, creating a perception that the ancestors lived in a lakeside city, ie on the water. This area was swampy, yet away from the scare, offered them food and protection. The human presence has been defined by the collection of polished axes, pottery or flint in numerous archaeological excavations. Men have more then left the territory of Houplin-Ancoisne: a large building or an old Gallic way reflect a constant occupation of Gallic civilization to Gallo-Roman.

Au Moyen-Âge, on trouve trace de Houplin sous le nom de "Houplin-lez-Seclin" et du "hameau d'Ancoisne"." onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">> In the Middle Ages, we find traces of Houplin under the name "Houplin-lez-Seclin" and "hamlet Ancoisne. These places are connected with the church of Saint-Piat Seclin and Chapter of Canons who administers them. The latter saw the tithe (church tax) and Reverse 300 pounds annually to the priest. This donation was confirmed by a papal bull of Clement 3rd of March 26, 1182.

Au 19ème siècle, Houplin a connu le percement du canal reliant Seclin à la Deûle et surtout la mise en commun en 1950 de Houplin et de son hameau Ancoisne, donnant ainsi naissance à la commune de Houplin-Ancoisne." onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">> In the 19th century, Houplin saw the digging of the canal linking the Seclin Deûle and especially the sharing of Houplin in 1950 and its hamlet Ancoisne, giving rise to the common Houplin-Ancoisne.

Plus récemment, en 2004, la création du "Parc Mosaïc, le Jardin des Cultures", qui rend hommage aux populations étrangères venues, de gré ou de force, participer au développement de la région, montre une nouvelle fois l'intérêt pour ce" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">> More recently, in 2004 the creation of the "Mosaic Park, the Garden of Cultures," which pays tribute to the foreign population came, willingly or unwillingly, participate in the development of the region, demonstrates once again the interest in this territory at the edge of the water already popular in the Neolithic.


SIGHTSEEING
  • Eglise Saint-Martin:

Pour beaucoup, le joyau communal reste l'église Saint-Martin au clocher très particulier en ardoises et coiffé d'une triple couronne d'abat-sons." onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">> For many, the jewel is the municipal church of St. Martin in very specific slate steeple and wearing a triple crown of blind sound.

L'église, construite vraisemblablement entre la fin du 12ème et le début du 13ème siècle, était au départ de forme latine (en croix) avec ses bas-côtés." onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">> The church, built probably between the late 12th and early 13th century, was originally in Latin form (the cross) with its aisles. Fans may notice the similarity of columns double row of hooks that building with those of the collegiate church of Saint-Piat Seclin.

Ce n'est qu'au 18ème siècle que l'église trouve sa forme actuelle avec l'ajout des deux nefs latérales et du clocher." onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">> It was not until the 18th century that the church finds its present form with the addition of two aisles and the tower. She has been the subject of a thorough restoration in 1965, award-winning television as part of "Masterpieces in Danger".

Nous vous invitons bien sûr à y entrer afin d'admirer les douze "corbeaux" (têtes de poutres sculptées dans le chêne), le Christ en croix réalisé en bois au 16ème siècle ou encore l'autel baroque." onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">We invite you to enter course to admire the twelve "crows" (heads carved in oak beams), Christ on the cross made of wood in the 16th century or the Baroque altar.
