Les Amis de Marchiennes
Located in the former prisons of the baillage, the museum presents a multitude of objects and documents on the history of Marchiennes. Through the 6 rooms, you will discover the rich abbey past of the city and many other themes from prehistory to modern times: the discoveries of excavations of the Gallo Roman period, the siege of 1712, the Corbineau brothers, the industrial past with the mine and glassware, the trades and games of yesteryear, the two world wars...
Two highlights of the visit: the relief plan of the city as it was in 1791 and the sinister dungeons!
