Heilig Hartkerk, Protected church building in Lier, Belgium
The Heilig Hartkerk features a three-nave hall layout with a transept, pentagonal choir closure, and prominent tower with monumental cross.
Architect Flor Van Reeth designed this modern church, which was constructed between 1937 and 1939 as his final religious architectural project.
The interior combines multiple art forms, including stained glass windows by Jan Huet and a large bas-relief titled 'The Good Shepherd' by Karel Aubroeck.
The church reopened in May 2022 following extensive restoration work and hosts weekly Sunday services within the Rupel-Nete deanery of Antwerp diocese.
From 2023, the building serves both religious and cultural purposes, transforming into a temple of culture while maintaining its religious function.
