'''Luingne''' ({{IPAc-en|l|w|i|n}} {{respell|LWEEN}}; {{IPA|fr|lwin}} or [{{IPA|lɥiɲ}}]; {{langx|nl|Lowingen}}; {{langx|pcd|Loinne}}) is a village of [Wallonia](/source/Wallonia) and a district of the municipality of [Mouscron](/source/Mouscron), located in the [province of Hainaut](/source/Hainaut_Province), [Belgium](/source/Belgium). 

It was a municipality in its own right before the [1977 fusion of municipalities](/source/Fusion_of_the_Belgian_municipalities). The inhabitants are called "Cleugnottes".

The district is 554-acre large.

==Dioceses==
In 1117, a [charter](/source/charter) was signed by Ernulfus de Luina. Pope [Pascal II](/source/Pascal_II) (1090-1118) mentions Luingne's altar in a [papal bull](/source/papal_bull). A bull of [Clement III](/source/Clement_III) (1187-1191) confirmed that the chapel and its grounds had been given to the chapter of Tournai. In 1146 the [diocese of Tournai](/source/diocese_of_Tournai) was separated from the [diocese of Noyon](/source/diocese_of_Noyon) and the presbytery of Luingne became part of the [deanery](/source/deanery) of [Helchin](/source/Spiere-Helkijn). In 1569 the bishop divided this deanery into Helchin-Flamand and Helchin-Wallon, of which Luingne is a part. In 1801, Napoleon created the [diocese of Ghent](/source/diocese_of_Ghent) and Luingne (like Mouscron and Herseaux) became part of the deanery of [Menin](/source/Menen). In 1932, Monsignor Lamiroy, [bishop of Bruges](/source/bishop_of_Bruges), created a French-speaking deanery within his Flemish diocese, grouping together Mouscron-Comines and the surroundings. In 1967, this deanery was attached to the diocese of Tournai under Monsignor Himmer.

==Religious monuments==

The church has always been in the same place throughout the years. It is even possible that a [romanesque](/source/romanesque_architecture) building was there before; a drawing from 1813 by Séraphin Vermote represents it. A condemnation for iconoclast destructions committed in the church of Luingne on 24 August 1566 is known thanks to a judgement in [Courtrai](/source/Courtrai). The wars of [Louis XIV](/source/Louis_XIV) would not spare it either and in 1676 a request was presented in order to repair it. During the [French Revolution](/source/French_Revolution) in 1794, a budget was drawn up to replace the goods that had been pillaged by the [sans-culottes](/source/sans-culottes). The decision to demolish the old church was made between 1848 and 1850 due to its instability and its small size. A new church, in a [neo-Gothic](/source/neo-Gothic) style, named Saint-Amand replaced it at a cost of 40,129 [Belgian franc](/source/Belgian_franc)s. The building is 20 metres long, 18 metres wide and 15 metres tall. The clock-tower is 42.80 metres high.
