Presentation of Cobrieux

Cobrieux (553 inhabitants, 284 ha) is a commune of the Nord department.

Formerly, Cobrieux was the seat of a Maltese commandery, named Haute-Avesnes. It consisted of the seigneury, a house occupied by the commander, and a small church called the Temple.
On August 3, 2008, the Val-de-Sambre tornado of 2008, a tornado of at least category F3 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, possibly F4, struck the town, killing 3 people and injuring 18. It caused extensive damage throughout the town and its surroundings, with 700 homes damaged, 200 of which were rendered uninhabitable.
