3. Title : Map of St Gillain Authors : Saint-Ghislain (Hainaut) Date of publication : ca. 1670 Description : Map manuscript 475 x 678 mm, with pen, pencil and watercolor drawing on paper, rim in brown ink. The map is captioned along the left margin. The details are precise walls, roads, rivers, water mill, powder magazine and so on. Traces of a crease, slight marginal tears, a few small ink stains marginales. Saint-Ghislain is located near the capital of Hainaut and its position on Hate gives it strategic importance. Albert of Bavaria will build fortifications around the city from 1366. In 1655, the city was besieged and taken by French troops under the leadership of Turenne and La Ferte. In March 1657, the city falls into the hands of Spain. In 1677, Vauban took over the city but after the Treaty of Nijmegen, Saint-Ghislain is found in the bosom of the Spanish Netherlands but not before been destroyed by the French before they left. This plan is captioned "The city of St. Gillain with desseings to strengthen" but there is nothing to distinguish what has already been made of what is planned. Some bastions mentioned on this map were already in the capture of the city by Vauban in 1677. Everything suggests that this map dates back to 1670.
