In Lannoy, traces of its fortification history meet 17th-century architecture and two public parks. Visitors who choose the town for a stay can explore a range of features: preserved historical remains, a former monastery and a specific guesthouse. Events and an intermunicipal market are also part of the public offering. When planning your visit, it is worth distinguishing the town’s lasting history from events with changing dates.

Fortification Remains and Historic Architecture

The Tour Cornière is a preserved remnant of Lannoy’s fortifications, located in the town hall park. Another remnant is the Tour du Prévost in Parc Réquillart; it dates to 1461. The Tour Cornière is in the town hall park, while the Tour du Prévost is in Parc Réquillart. The present-day town hall is also part of this history: it was built on the site of the former Château du Prévost, which was a defensive tower before the French Revolution.

At 25 rue de Tournai stands the Ancien couvent des Croisiers, a historic building dating from the 17th century. Since 20 January 1986, the façades and roofs of its portal have been partially protected as a historic monument. This protection therefore applies to specific parts of the portal, not automatically to the entire building. The Église Saint-Philippe offers another perspective on local heritage: the former triptych in the choir consists of separate panels. They depict Saint Philip preaching, Saint Philip raising the dragon’s victims from the dead, and the Crucifixion.

Two Public Parks and a Guesthouse

Parc du Prévôt and Parc des Croisiers are the two public parks in central Lannoy. Parc des Croisiers has a play area for young children. Visitors who want to include a park visit when choosing a place to stay will find two named green spaces in the town centre; the play area is a specific feature of Parc des Croisiers, not both parks.

The Château de Courcelette in Lannoy is a 17th-century guesthouse offering overnight accommodation. The property has a landscaped garden, a sunny terrace and five guest rooms.

For local information, the Syndicat d’Initiative Intercommunal Lannoy – Toufflers is located in the Hôtel de Ville at 1 place Carnot. If you plan to visit, check its current opening hours beforehand.

Events and Regional Products

Lannoy’s public events include the Fête des 2 villes, flea markets, cultural salons, concerts and performances. The programme may change, so check the dates of individual events if you have a particular period in mind for your visit. This helps distinguish planned cultural events from historic sights, whose significance is not tied to a particular event date.

The intermunicipal market of Lannoy and Lys-lez-Lannoy opened on Friday, 15 September 2017. Its offerings include cheese, charcuterie, rotisserie and fish products, Creole and regional products, as well as butcher and fresh-produce stalls. Around twenty traders and producers are represented at the market; their number may change. Choosing when to visit therefore involves two distinct considerations: the market’s history is linked to a specific opening date, while the number of traders and the events programme remain changeable planning details.
