Basilica of Our Lady of Bon-Secours
Basilica of Our Lady of Bon-Secours, Minor basilica in Bon-Secours, Belgium.
The Basilica of Our Lady of Bon-Secours features an octagonal design with Gothic Revival elements and Byzantine influences throughout its architectural composition.
The religious site originated in the 16th century when devotees began venerating the Virgin Mary at an oak tree, leading to construction of the current basilica in 1892.
The basilica maintains its role as a central pilgrimage destination where visitors honor a statue of the Virgin Mary carved from the original sacred oak tree.
Located at Place Jean Absil in Péruwelz, the basilica sits at an elevation of 58 meters and marks the highest point of the Escaut Plains Nature Park.
The structure, designed by architect Frans Baeckelmans, combines Gothic Revival architecture with an unusual octagonal layout at the French-Belgian border position.
