St. Quentin Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Hasselt, Belgium.
St. Quentin Cathedral is a house of worship in Hasselt built from brick in the Gothic style. Its interior features elaborate stained glass windows and detailed wood carvings that decorate the spaces.
The cathedral grew from an 8th-century church and underwent multiple building phases over centuries. A Romanesque rebuilding took place in the 11th century, and the choir was expanded in the 15th century.
The cathedral displays frescoes painted by local artist Godfried Guffens on its interior walls. These are complemented by religious artworks that came from the nearby Herkenrode Abbey.
The cathedral is located in central Hasselt and is easy to reach on foot. It opens regularly for visitors and functions as an active place of worship, so visiting times may vary depending on events.
The cathedral's tower was built in 1725 and later received stained glass windows that came from Herkenrode Abbey. These windows were integrated into the structure during a 19th-century restoration and give the tower its distinctive appearance.
