Sint-Hubertuskerk, Gothic Revival parish church in Oud-Berchem, Antwerp, Belgium

Sint-Hubertuskerk is a north–south oriented Gothic Revival parish church on Victor Jacobslei in Berchem, designed by Jan De Vroey. Its brown brick exterior has a central square tower with a clock face, paired louvered lancets and a small spire, plus an octagonal turret on the right. Inside, clustered columns carry pointed arches and ribbed vaults in pale grey and cream stone, with wooden chairs flanking the aisle and three tall stained-glass windows above the altar.

Construction began in 1912 under architect Jan De Vroey but faced delays during World War I before the church was consecrated in 1916. The tower spire was later shortened in 1941 due to flight safety regulations for nearby Deurne Airport.

The church is named after Saint Hubert, to whom the parish was dedicated when Cardinal Goossens tasked Remi Tilemans with founding it in 1899. Tilemans served as pastor for 43 years, and on 16 November 1924 his silver jubilee and the parish's 25th anniversary were celebrated with a jubilee Mass assisted by his four priest brothers, followed by the illumination of the church and surrounding houses. A farewell service on 9 November 2025 suspended Masses indefinitely.

The church stands on the Victor Jacobslei in Oud-Berchem, oriented north-south rather than east-west. Sunday Mass was suspended indefinitely after the farewell service of 9 November 2025, so visitors should not count on regular opening hours and should check locally before travelling.

The tower once stood 70 metres tall, but in 1941 the German occupier had its spire removed to clear the approach path for aircraft heading to Deurne airport, leaving it at 48 metres. The church is also oriented north-south rather than east-west like most churches.
