St. Stefanus, Ghent, Catholic parish church in central Ghent, Belgium

The exterior of St Stephen's Church presents a combination of 19th-century architecture with elements from a former Carmelite church integrated into its structure.

After a fire destroyed the original monastery in 1838, architect Jean Baptiste De Baets designed the current church, which was consecrated on December 26, 1841.

The church displays numerous artistic elements, including statues by Brother Prosper Venneman and altars created by Gaspar de Crayer during the 17th century.

Located at Sint-Margrietstraat, the church functions as both a religious center and a concert venue, particularly for organ music performances.

The church houses two distinct organs: an 1873 Philippe Forrest instrument and a 1962 Flentrop-organ transferred from a Baptist church in Enschede.
