Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-van-Lourdesbasiliek, Minor basilica in Edegem, Belgium

The Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-van-Lourdesbasiliek features Byzantine Revival architecture with a prominent dome and a 51-meter-high bell tower on the eastern facade.

Construction of the basilica took place between 1931 and 1935, following designs by Louis de Vooght, with Cardinal Van Roey laying the foundation stone.

The interior walls display murals painted by P. Wante from 1937 to 1939, while copper-driven Stations of the Cross from Maredsous Abbey adorn the space.

Sunday services begin at 9:30 AM, with regular Word and Communion services supplemented by special Eucharistic celebrations throughout the year.

The basilica houses an Anton Pels organ with 1600 pipes arranged in an open configuration without a traditional organ case.
