OUR LADY OF THE EARL
A remarkable Gothic cathedral, the last of the century, a must-see in Lille.
This neo-Gothic building is the last cathedral of the 20th century. Its construction lasted from 1854 to 1999! Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille, then a basilica, was not designated a cathedral until 1914 by Pope Pius X. Provisionally clad in brick in 1947, the façade adopted its definitive appearance in the 1990s, thanks to the style of Pierre-Louis Carlier and Peter Rice. Surprisingly, the Treille facade remains one of the city's must-sees, popular with the locals in fine weather for a break on the steps or a drink on the terrace.
