Saint Bavo Church, Gothic church in Aardenburg, Netherlands

The Saint Bavo Church features a massive tower, tripartite west window, and early Gothic lancet windows extending across three distinct architectural sections.

Constructed in 959 by monks from Ghent, the church underwent reconstruction in 1220 after a fire destroyed the original Romanesque structure in 1202.

The church transformed from Catholic to Protestant use in 1604, marking a significant shift in the religious practices of the local community.

Located at Sint Bavostraat 5 in Aardenburg, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements.

The structure incorporates stones from an ancient Roman castellum in its oldest sections, connecting medieval architecture with classical Roman materials.
