Sint-Augustinuskerk, Baroque church in central Antwerp, Belgium.

The Sint-Augustinuskerk features a three-nave structure without transept, incorporating local Renaissance elements in its facade with rectangular stone sections.

Construction of the church occurred between 1615 and 1618 under architect Wenzel Coebergher during the Twelve Years' Truce period in the Netherlands.

The church displays altarpieces created in 1628 by Antwerp painters, including works from Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens, and Anthony van Dyck.

The building now functions as AMUZ concert hall, with the former Our Lady Chapel converted into a foyer and the sexton residence housing administrative offices.

In 2018, artist Jan Fabre created new altar installations using 450,000 scarab beetle shields, incorporating motifs from the original altar pieces.
