History

[edit]

In 1526, Flanders fell to theSpanish Netherlands by theTreaty of Madrid. Under the reign ofPhilip II, the first religious problems arose betweenFlanders andSpain.

In the 17th century, Flanders was a permanent battlefield. Louis XIV reconquered Flanders. As a result, Bailleul reverted to France in 1678.

With theTreaty of Utrecht, Flanders and with it Bailleul fell toAustria in 1713, before both finally passed to France in 1745 after theBattle of Fontenoy and theTreaty of Aachen. Numerous fires marked the history of the city.

From the 17th to the 19th century, thebobbin lace craft developed in Bailleul. (La Maison de la Dentelle bobbin lace museum), a craft for which the town is still known far beyond its borders.

Bailleul in 1918

DuringFirst World War, the area around Bailleul was at times heavily affected by the heavy fighting that German and Allied troops engaged in around the nearby Belgian town ofYpres. When German troops usedchlorine gas against the Allied troops near Wulverghem (municipality ofHeuvelland, Belgium) on 30 April 1916 over a front length of 3.2 kilometres, the resulting toxic gas cloud extended as far as Bailleul. During theGerman Spring Offensive inOperation Georgette from 13 April 1918, Bailleul with its old Flemish Town Centre was more than 90 percent destroyed.After the severe destruction of the First World War, the town was rebuilt in the Neo-Flemish style during the 20th century. A typical example of the architectural style, which was widespread throughout Flanders, is the town hall of 1932 with its bell tower.
