Built in the second half of the 19th century, the Saint-Martin church takes place on the remains of a first building from the 11th century. In bricks, it reveals a very beautiful interior inside, including a sculpture listed as an Historic Monument and a magnificent sculpted Stations of the Cross.

While strolling in the city, you will be able to also admire the Marie Curie school taking place in the buildings of the old school of the girls of the first half of the XXth century and classified as Historical Monuments, or several chapels and oratories dotted around the town.

Built in the second half of the 19th century, like the communal church, as part of the Séré de Rivières system, the Leveau fort was then one of six forts built to protect Maubeuge from attacks. Covering an area of over 80,000 m², it was largely restored in the 1990s, now housing an interesting museum which hosts an annual exhibition of vintage cars.

Several marked hiking trails allow you to explore the local flora and fauna, like the Bois de la Taillette circuit of 16 or 12.5 km. This last crosses Gognies-Chaussée and Mairieux and allows in particular to admire the fort of Leveau.

The weekly market is held every Thursday morning.

The international Harpe en Avesnois festival offers several concerts in the city in March.

Every year in April, the Fort de Leveau hosts an exhibition of vintage cars.

In mid-July, a parade and fireworks are organized to celebrate the national holiday.

In August, make way for the terroir festival with its flea market, its regional products stalls and its mussels and fries.
