Origin and history

The Church of Our Lady of Planks is a religious building built between the 16th and 18th centuries. Located in the village of Planques, in the department of Pas-de-Calais ( Hauts-de-France region), it embodies the religious architecture typical of this period, marked by late Gothic and classical influences. Its inscription as a Historic Monument by order of 10 June 1926 bears witness to its heritage value and its local importance.

The location of the church, at 2 Rue du Moulin in Planques, is documented in the Merimée base, with a geographical accuracy deemed satisfactory a priori. Owned by the commune, it is an integral part of the historical landscape of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, a region where parish churches played a central role in community life, both spiritually and socially. These buildings served as gathering places, liturgical celebrations and the expression of village identity.

Available sources, including Monumentum and internal data, confirm that the church has been protected since 1926, without providing further details on any changes or significant events related to its construction. Its status as a Historical Monument makes it a silent witness to the architectural and cultural evolutions of the region, from the wars of Religion to the Industrial Revolution.
