Calonne-Ricouart (French pronunciation: ) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France. Calonne-Ricouart is an ex-coalmining town some 6 miles (9.7 km) southwest of Béthune and 33 miles (53 km) southwest of Lille, at the junction of the D70 and the D341 roads, by the banks of the river Clarence. The village and the old castle were burned down in 1537 by the troops of Francis I. The church of St. Pierre was rebuilt between the years 1763 to 1781. In 1786, a new chateau was built at the present location of the cemetery. Around the same time, through the initiative of Bernard Calonne, the watermill was built on the north bank of the river Clarence. It was sold during the Revolution and ceased functioning as a working mill in 1945. Nowadays, only a small part of the original building still exists. More information...
