Opening days and hours 8:00-20:00 Address Grande rue Vanderburch F-59400 Cambrai Tip A beautiful church which houses the wonderful “Entombment” by Rubens and a remarkable polychrome marble jube, sculpted by Jaspart Marsy Founded in the 6th century, it is the oldest church of the town. It became the Saint-Aubert abbey-church in the 11th century. Rebuilt between 1697 and 1745, it illustrates two traditional types of architecture: Dutch Baroque and French Classicism. At the transept crossing, a canopy in blue stone is the only one of this kind. During the Revolution, the church was saved from destruction as it was used to store the clergy’s seized goods. The church now houses numerous works of art, among others The Entombment by Rubens (1616) and the Jube by Jaspar Marsy (1635), which is now the organ loft
