Sint-Pieters-en-Pauluskerk
Sint-Pieters-en-Pauluskerk, Baroque church on Veemarkt in Mechelen, Belgium.
The Sint-Pieters-en-Pauluskerk features a grand facade completed in 1709, combining Gothic hall structures with ornate Baroque decorative elements throughout its interior.
The church construction started in 1670 when brothers Antoon and Andreas Losson laid the first stone, with the building consecrated in 1694 by Archbishop Precipiano.
The pulpit displays representations of four continents, reflecting the 16th-century geographical knowledge before Oceania was recognized as the fifth continent.
The church welcomes visitors from 13:00 to 16:00 except Mondays, with extended hours during summer months and includes accessibility features like metal ramps.
Fourteen built-in confessionals, examples of Mechelen woodcarving craftsmanship, line the church walls, originally serving pilgrims who needed to be free of sins to touch relics.
