Enguinegatte is a farming village situated 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Saint-Omer, at the D77 and D158E2 crossroads.

Known as Guinegate in medieval times, it is the site of several late 15th and early 16th century battles. The first was the Battle of Guinegate, the later and more famous, the Battle of the Spurs, in 1513.

The village was largely destroyed in the Second World War.
