Église Saint-Basile de Couillet, Catholic church in Couillet district, Charleroi, Belgium.

Saint Basile Church features a 65-meter bell tower, with dimensions of 58.5 meters in length and 18 meters in width.

The church construction began in 1865 when Basile Parent laid the first stone, but he passed away in 1866 before its completion in 1868.

The church houses a classified organ from 1905, gifted by Gustave Quinet-Mineur, which remains in its original condition without modifications.

The building has remained closed to the public for over 20 years due to structural issues and faces potential demolition plans.

Near the choir stands a white marble memorial from 1872 by Jacob de Braekeleer, depicting Parent's bust crowned by an angel.
