Église Saint-Nicaise

In the heart of Saint-Tricat, the Saint-Nicaise church is the soul of the village. Dominated by its remarkable 12th-century bell tower, a vestige of a former priory of the Premonstratensian order, it recounts nearly nine centuries of local history.

Remodeled over the centuries with a nave rebuilt in the 16th century and then a choir and stained glass windows from the 19th century, it reflects the evolution of the religious heritage of the Calais region.

After several years of extensive restoration, the church has been restored to its rightful place in the landscape of Saint-Tricat. Inside, visitors can admire the listed statue of Saint Nicaise, Bishop of Reims, depicted according to tradition as a cephalophore, holding his head in his hands. A true symbol of the town, the church is an essential stop for understanding the village's history before continuing your exploration along the hiking trails that connect the Calais marshes to the foothills of the Boulonnais region. Between its heritage, serenity, and open landscapes, Saint-Nicaise embodies the very character of this village, a veritable Calais enlargement.
