Sint-Odulfuskerk, Gothic church building in Borgloon, Belgium
Sint-Odulfuskerk is a Gothic church in Borgloon with a distinctive tower of marl sandstone rising from a bluestone foundation that shapes the town's skyline. Its interior holds notable artworks from different periods, including wooden statues, a crucifix, and carved choir seating.
The church was founded in the 12th century, with a Gothic tower added in the 15th century as the main structural expansion. Major renovation work reshaped much of the building in the 19th century.
The building reflects local devotion to a venerated saint whose prayer chair remains on display inside. This connection to popular faith is evident in the carved details and religious artworks that fill the interior.
The church is accessible from the outside at any time and offers good views of its Gothic architecture from the street. For a detailed interior visit, check local opening times as viewings are arranged on a regular basis.
Inside the church sits a medieval prayer chair linked to a saint whose name the building shares. This modest wooden seat tells the story of personal devotion in the place where people have worshipped for centuries.
