Until the 13th century, when the bay of the Somme silted up, the historical capital of Marquenterre was a busy sea port. Its first belfry was built at that time. Rebuilt at the end of the Hundred Years War, it received its neo-Gothic additions in the 19th century, which significantly improved its original, somewhat rustic appearance. The belfry has a dungeon in its largest turret, where graffiti scratched by prisoners can still be seen.
