Temple of Westeraam

The Temple of Westeraam stands between Noorderlicht and Avondster streets, featuring a central elevated core surrounded by a colonnade with a western entrance point.

Archaeological excavations in 2002 revealed that the temple underwent multiple construction phases, transitioning from wooden structures to stone architecture around the year 100.

The temple follows the Gallo-Roman architectural style, reflecting the integration of Roman religious practices in the northern provinces during the imperial period.

The temple's location is marked by special paving stones in the street, allowing visitors to identify the exact spot where this ancient structure once stood.

Located 560 meters east of Elst's Great Church, this temple forms part of a complex that includes two additional Roman temples and the archaeological site De Hoge Hof.
