The French Protestant Church in Guines

.

   
                   Site of the Huguenot Temple                                       Site of Minister's House                                      Site of Huguenot Cemetery

The Temple at Guiness was the center of a French Protestant community. Likeminded families came from many nearby villages to worship and gather news.

The Church building consisted of a Temple, an Assembly Hall and the ministers residence. None have been preserved with any care and their present appearance demonstrates the trouble the Catholics went to to eliminate any record of the Huguenot movement in France after 1685.

As the sites are not built on, to any substantial extent, I am surprised the French authorities haven't been approached by the Huguenot Societies worldwide to mark these historical sites, if not with a Museum devoted to the Huguenot history then at least with informative plaques to guide visitors. Guines Information office is seemingly unaware of the traumatic events of history that their village saw. .
