Sint-Augustinuskerk, Baroque church in central Antwerp, Belgium.
Sint-Augustinuskerk is a Baroque church in central Antwerp featuring a three-nave structure without a transept. The building combines local Renaissance elements in its stone facade and now operates as a concert hall.
The church was built between 1615 and 1618 under architect Wenzel Coebergher during a period of peace in the Netherlands. Its construction marked a time of artistic and architectural renewal in Antwerp.
The church displays altar paintings created by Antwerp artists in the 1600s, with works from some of the period's most renowned painters. These artworks remain a defining feature of the interior and reflect the city's strong artistic heritage.
The building now operates as a concert hall hosting performances throughout the year. The former chapel space serves as a foyer, while former residential areas house administrative offices.
In 2018, artist Jan Fabre created new altar installations using roughly 450,000 scarab beetle shields, drawing from motifs in the original altar paintings. This contemporary art intervention merges modern expression with the baroque heritage of the space.
