Hazebrouck,
la Flamande
The
Saint-Éloi church
Of vast proportions this building which was until the end of XIXème century the only sanctuary of HAZEBROUCK, presents the plan common to much church of the Flanders: three naves equal height and equal width; no the transept, but of the vaults perpendicular to the axis of the building, it is a " hallekerke " or church-room. The tower, in frontage, built out of bricks on a sandstone base of Artois, was high into 1532. In May 1940, it unfortunately lost the openwork arrow which, in XVIIème century, deserved to him to be described as " Turris Splendida " by the geographer flamingo Sanders.Les naves are older;le carcass work heavy castings goes up to 1494, but there were rehandlings and restorations between 1520 and 1555 and, with regard to the chorus, still in 1927. The two large side chapels are, in the South on the side of the street, that of Sebastien Saint, high in XVIème century in the honor of its owner, by the " ghilde " of the archers; in North that more recent of Holy Anne, owner of the " room of rhetoric ", founded literary company as of 1528. To notice, on the Southern wall, the bicephalous eagle of the halsbourg and the lion of Flanders, drawn out of dark bricks. XVIII 2nd century old woodworks, decorated profiles of characters of the Bible: pulpit and organ case which are beautiful works of cabinet work; Master-furnace bridge of 1810 interfering the forms with style Louis XVI, is those of Empire style. The small vault which shelters the pink marble baptismal font, of style Louis XVI, is closed by a splendid grid out of wrought iron, painted and gilded, work of XVIIIème century (Historic building). Among the tables let us quote only two works of artists of this country: two " Deposition ", one of Mathieu Elias (born in Zuytpeene in 1658), the other of Nicolas Ruyssen (born with HAZEBROUCK in 1757). The Saint-Eloi church has a carrillon of 35 bells offered by Mr. Mynlieff, a downward Netherlander of the family Van Hazebroek.
