Culture

The local heritage of the Avesnois includes four oratories and three chapels in Maresches. The Chapelle N.D. de Lourdes, dating from 1901, is located on the Chemin de Préseau. The Chapelle N.D. de Bonsecours, which formerly belonged to the Monier family, is also located there. Its door, roof and interior were restored in 2014, and it was blessed on 19 October 2014.

The Moulin Carpentier, also known as the Moulin du Gravier in 1880, was converted in the 1910s into a taillanderie for producing iron goods such as scissors, sickles and anvils; it is now a residential building. The watermill belonging to the Metropolitan Chapter of Cambrai was converted into a power station around 1900 and subsequently into a hosiery factory, which operated until 1972. Permission to build the Moulin à vent de Maresches was granted on 18 May 1818; the windmill was dismantled around 1850.
