Sint-Bartholomeuskerk

The Sint-Bartholomeuskerk features three naves with three bays, a square crossing tower flanked by round corner towers, and a basilica choir with side chapels.

Construction of the Gothic church began in 1476, replacing an earlier 13th-century chapel, and underwent major reconstruction from 1876 to 1895 to restore its Gothic elements.

The church contains valuable artworks including a 15th-century polychromed wood Pieta and twelve stone apostle statues beneath a neo-Gothic canopy at the high altar.

Visitors can obtain a detailed brochure inside the church that guides them through thirty significant artworks displayed throughout the building.

The church structure incorporates both Tournai stone for its oldest sections and brick for later restorations, creating a distinctive architectural composition.
