Sint-Walburgakerk, Baroque parish church in central Bruges, Belgium.
The church displays a marble altar created by Pieter Verbruggen the Elder and Jacob Cockx, along with an oak pulpit crafted by Artus Quellinus the Younger.
Constructed between 1619 and 1643 under architect Pieter Huyssens, the building initially served as a Jesuit church before becoming the parish church of Saint Walburga in 1777.
The structure stands as one of the few Baroque religious buildings in Bruges, contrasting with the predominant Gothic architecture throughout the medieval city center.
Located at Sint-Maartensplein in Bruges, the church welcomes visitors from Friday through Monday between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM without admission charges.
During the French Revolution of 1794, the church transformed into a Temple of Reason yet managed to preserve its original architectural elements and religious artwork.
