Sint-Hubertuskerk
Sint-Hubertuskerk, Gothic Revival parish church in Berchem, Belgium
Sint-Hubertuskerk is a parish church in Berchem designed with Gothic Revival features including a three-nave structure with a central tower on Victor Jacobslei. The interior displays pointed arches, stone detailing, and decorative stained glass windows throughout.
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 dedicated to Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunters, and functions as a gathering place where the Berchem community comes together for religious services and celebrations. It remains a familiar landmark that shapes daily life in the neighborhood.
The church is located at a central point in Berchem and is easy to reach from local streets. Visitors should check opening times before arriving, as hours may vary depending on religious services and community events.
In the 1960s, the community made the surprising choice to preserve the existing building despite high repair costs rather than construct a replacement. This decision reflected strong local commitment to maintaining the established landmark.
