Sint-Niklaaskerk, Gothic church in Veurne, Belgium
The Sint-Niklaaskerk combines yellow and red bricks with iron sandstone, Tournai stone, and limestone in its architectural composition.
First mentioned in 1120, the church was entrusted to the Premonstratensian abbey of Veurne, which served it until the French Revolution.
The Cross of Sodality, crafted in 1639 from ebony and boxwood, represents the brotherhood that organizes the annual Penitential Procession.
The church opens daily from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM, while the tower welcomes visitors from 9 AM to 8 PM between April and September.
The bell called 't Bommetje from 1379 remains the only surviving element of the original carillon, making it among the oldest bells in Flanders.
