TOWN PRESENTATION
  • Origin of the name of the town:
  • Several hypotheses exist to explain the etymology of "Noyelles-lès-Seclin. The canon Leuridan sees a Gallic origin: knots which means "fat and moist earth" or noia meaning "marshy pasture. Here we have an explanation in geography, a village on the outskirts of Marsh Deûle.
  • There are traces of this county to a charter of 875 when it appears under the name "NIVILLE" ( "New City"), then a text from 1096: "Nigella". In the 14th and 17th centuries, it spells "Noïelle. In the 18th century, it may be designated by "Noyelles-in-Mélantois" but also by its common name.
  • A brief history of Noyelles-lès-Seclin:
  • If as you stroll down Noyelles-lès-Seclin, you said you're in the "Little Paris", do not be surprised that "basic Noyellois in the old days because they said they were quite proud of themselves. For others, this expression comes from the castle of the lords of the village where it was magnificent French gardens (now extinct).
  • In 1708, during the War of Spanish Succession, Lille was besieged by the Duke of Marlborough (better known as the Malbrouck) and Prince Eugene of Savoy. The Marlborough arranged his men in particular Noyelles. The siege lasted three months and ended with the surrender of the French commanded by General Boufflers. Noyelles suffered much from this occupation and the following year was marked by severe winter weather (freezing split trees) which gave way to a period of famine.
  • The motto Noyelles-lès-Seclin was bequeathed by the last lord of Louis Seraphin Chambge: "For most of Chambge. This noble was a member of the nobility of the bailiwick of Lille during the convocation of the Estates General, a supporter of the old regime he sat to the right of assembly before fleeing to Belgium in 1790. He died January 17, 1794. Meanwhile, the castle was razed to the ground "in hatred of the erstwhile tyranny of past centuries" (Canon Leuridan).
  • Noyelles-lès-Seclin was occupied by the Germans during both world wars. Found in the industrial area of an ancient fort in the late 19th century, made a defensive structure which completed the defensive belt of Lille. In the latter, it remains in a state that Fort Seclin. The fort served the German Noyelles Sunday, September 3, 1944 to delay the British advance. This position was quickly neutralized by the allies in forcing the German retreat on the other defensive structure (the Fort Houplin) and a battery of Emmerin suburb. A noyellois Caupin named Jean, a former artillery officer, speaking English, using British soldiers to silence the battery Emmerin. A few hours later, soldiers of the SS Fort Houplin prefer to commit suicide with grenades rather than fall into the hands of allies.

SIGHTSEEING
  • The Hall Aldermen:
  • The North of France is known for its towers, symbols of communal autonomy from the Middle Ages. There are traces in the archives of a hall in Seclin Aldermen at the current crossroads between Rue Roger Bouvry and rue Jean Jaurès, but lack of space, this building was destroyed during the 19th century. Noyelles-lès-Seclin is fortunate to have retained.
  • We know that since the 11th century a gentleman ran the town, the first known text called John of the Vichte. The management of municipal affairs was with officers or sheriffs and lieutenants, clerks and lawyers. They looked after the interests of the community, roads and police, but also the property management of the parish church and the poor.
  • The Aldermen Hall, located on the main square, dates from 1770 (cost: 240 guilders). A bell is provided by the last Lord of Noyelles-lès-Seclin: Louis Seraphin of Chambge. It still exists, it is exposed in this hall converted into a small museum. This market kept its function as mayor until 1976.
  • The church of Saint-Martin:
  • Dedicated to Saint-Martin, the Latin cross church (with a transept) is a gem. We do not really know the date of creation or even the parish church. We know just one gear the sixteenth, a wall of the 17th and the façade is the eighteenth. This facade is highlighted by a pyramid of tiles.
  • The interior of the church reveals many treasures: a high altar (XVII-XIX), a magnificent seventeenth altarpiece, representing the Resurrection of Christ, which was recently restored, wood panels or a statue of St. Eloi.
