Église Saint-Pierre de Corbais, Catholic church in Corbais, Belgium.
The Église Saint-Pierre de Corbais features baroque architecture with red brick construction, white limestone elements, and a distinctive octagonal slate-covered spire with four levels of ornamental openings.
Construction began between 1771 and 1773 under architect canon Jaumotte, with major renovations completed in 1836 when Antoine Moreau raised the vault and added structural elements.
The church houses bronze commemorative plaques honoring British and Canadian soldiers from World War II, alongside memorials for World War I victims with bronze lion representations.
