Sint-Bertinuskerk
Sint-Bertinuskerk, Gothic church in Poperinge, Belgium
Sint-Bertinuskerk is a Gothic church in Poperinge with three naves of equal height and width, forming a hall church design typical of Flemish religious architecture. This structure creates a harmonious and open interior space characteristic of this architectural style.
After fires in 1419 and 1436, the church was rebuilt in 1450 and transformed from a Romanesque chapel into a Gothic structure. This reconstruction shaped the building that visitors see today.
The church houses a magnificent 1710 pulpit from a Dominican monastery, decorated with detailed carvings of church fathers. This artwork reflects the religious traditions that remain visible within this place today.
The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors to explore its interior. The bell tower contains a carillon system with multiple bells of varying sizes.
A late Renaissance rood screen features detailed carvings of Jesus and the apostles, having survived multiple historical conflicts. This artwork escaped damage despite the turbulent period through which the building passed.
