Eglise Saint-Sepulcre de Montdidier
Built between 1510 and 1519 in the flamboyant Gothic style, the church is a listed historic monument. A set of six Flemish tapestries from the mid 17th century is on display in the nave.
Eglise Saint-Pierre de Montdidier
The present church dates back to the end of the 14th century, but because of the wars and the ruin of Montdidier in the 15th century, it took 100 years to build. The portal designed by Chappion is remarkable. The 11th-century Roman-Byzantine baptismal font in black Tournai marble, taken from the first church, is particularly beautiful and curious. The relics of Saints Lugle and Luglien, the town's patron saints, are preserved in a silver-plated bronze shrine dating from 1839. A must-see is a superb Romanesque Christ from the 12th century.
