Collegiate Church of Saint-Vincent de Soignies

The Collegiate Church of Saint-Vincent features two towers, pink-beige walls, and a light oak ceiling that spans across the central nave.

Construction of the church began between 1015 and 1024, with the main architectural elements completed around 1225, taking two centuries to finalize.

The interior contains Renaissance and Baroque decorations, including marble screens, oak choir stalls from 1676, and a high altar with saint relics.

The church underwent extensive restoration work starting in 1985, ensuring the preservation of its architectural elements for future generations.

The church houses a 14th-century statue of the Virgin Mary nursing Jesus, representing an uncommon portrayal in religious medieval art.
