Sint-Amandskerk, Gothic church in Geel, Belgium.

Sint-Amandskerk is a late Gothic basilica on the north side of Geel's Markt, built of grey stone and brown brick. Its square west tower, with corner buttresses and a steep slate spire topped by a golden finial, rises to 59 metres and carries a round clock face with gold numerals. The long nave has a dark slate roof and rows of arched windows, while a stepped brick gable with a smaller spire closes the right end.

The church was built starting in 1490 during a period when the region prospered from sheep breeding and linen production. It reflects the economic strength and building confidence of that prosperous era.

The church displays religious artworks and altarpieces that show the devotion and craftsmanship of the Flemish community. These pieces reveal how faith was woven into the everyday life and values of people in this region.

The church stands on the north side of Geel's Markt, so it is reached on foot from the market square. The south facade has a projecting single-bay portal of 1790 with a basket-arch door. South of the church stands the 1810 Calvary figure by M. Janssens, formerly on the churchyard.

The tower's lower section survives from a church of around 1400 that burned in 1489; the present brick nave was rebuilt from 1490 and the tower raised to 59 metres in the mid-16th century. The south facade carries a Boerenkrijg monument of 1898 by Leuven sculptor B. van Uytvanck, and a calvary figure of 1810 by M. Janssens stands south of the church.
