St Dymphna Church, Gothic church in Geel, Belgium
The Sint-Dimpna Church features a strong tower constructed with white sandstone and brown ferruginous stone, displaying regional Demer Gothic architectural elements.
Construction began in 1349 as a pilgrimage site where Saint Dymphna and her confessor Gerebernus were buried after their deaths in the 7th century.
The church houses multiple Flemish masterpieces, including the Saint Dymphna altarpiece with over two hundred carved oak figurines and traces of original polychrome.
The church opens Tuesday through Sunday from 14:00 to 17:00 between April and September, with free admission for individual visitors at Sint-Dimpnaplein 15.
The Renaissance mausoleum contains two paintings by Jan Mostaert from 1525 depicting connected landscapes across separate portrait frames of the Merode family.
