Church located in the heart of the city, between Lille Flandres station and the Grand-Place.

Right in the heart of the city, between Lille Flandres station and the Grand-Place, this church is one of Lille's jewels. Built between the 14th and late 19th centuries in a neo-Gothic style, it impresses with the size of its nave, choir and transepts, not to mention its broad facade, with the bell tower with its endless openwork spire planted in the middle. The church houses an exceptional collection of works from former convents in the city. Its majestic stained-glass windows date from the late 19th century and are the work of Lille glass painter Charles Gaudelet (some of the windows were restored following their destruction in the bombardments of the First and Second World Wars). Today, Saint-Maurice church is one of the three bell towers of the Saint-Eubert parish. It hosts exhibitions and cultural events. It is also a haven of peace in the city, where people stop to rest, pray and reconcile with God.

En plus de proposer des offices atypiques et conviviaux, l’église Saint-Maurice est réputée pour sa beauté. Un passage obligé pour les personnes en transit à la gare !

Jolie église
Cette église est impressionnante par ses dimensions. Elle était cependant un peu vide et le froid de l'hiver aidant, elle semblait peu accueillante.

Superbe et monumentale église-halle de style gothique et néo-gothique un peu oubliée des visiteurs.

L’eglise Saint Maurice impressionne souvent par ses dimensions. C’est un des joyaux de notre belle ville de Lille. Elle présente également un plan particulier, typique des églises flamandes. C’est ce que l’on appelle une église hall qui se caractérise par ses 5 nefs parallèles.

Entre la gare et la Grand place, cette vieille église restaurée vers 1860 en gothique flamboyant est souvent prise à tort pour la cathédrale à cause de sa haute flèche effilée.Elle a pour plan celui des églises flamandes "la hallekerke". Rien de vraiment sensationnel mais mérite une visite pour son architecture intérieure.
