Sint-Medarduskerk
Sint-Medarduskerk, Gothic church in Wervik, Belgium
The Sint-Medarduskerk extends 81 meters in length and 37 meters in width, featuring a prominent tower that rises 86 meters into the sky.
Built in 1433 after destruction by Breton troops, the church replaced an older Romanesque structure that dated back to the early 13th century.
The interior contains a wooden pulpit from 1693, numerous paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, and an organ created by Jules Anneessens in 1925.
The church underwent extensive restoration work completed in 2012, making the interior accessible for visitors to examine its medieval architecture.
German soldiers during World War I used the church tower as an observation post, leaving inscriptions above the north portal that remain visible today.
