Saint-Michaels' church, Baroque Jesuit church in Leuven, Belgium
The church stands with white sandstone and ironstone walls, featuring Ionic columns and Corinthian pilasters arranged across its three-nave structure.
Between 1650 and 1666, architect Willem Van Hees constructed this religious building for the Jesuit College of Leuven during the Counter-Reformation period.
The church preserves eight confessional boxes from the 17th century, connected by oak wainscoting and decorated with angels and Eucharistic scenes.
The church opens Tuesday through Sunday from 13:30 to 16:30, with additional morning hours on Sundays from 11:00 to 13:00.
The church houses a reconstruction of the 1769 Heinrich Andreas Contius organ, originally built for the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Liepaja, Latvia.
