Saint Begga Collegiate Church, Neoclassical collegiate church in Andenne, Belgium

Saint Begga Collegiate Church exhibits a symmetrical facade with Ionic pilasters on the first level and Corinthian pilasters on the second level.

The current limestone structure, completed in 1778, replaced earlier religious buildings that formed part of a monastic community surrounded by walls.

The church houses a griffin-shaped lectern from 1520 and six paintings by Isidore Lecrenier depicting the life of Saint Begga.

Regular religious services take place at the church, including Saturday evening mass and Sunday morning ceremonies for the local parish.

Children place their shoes near Saint Begga's tomb statue inside the church to receive blessings according to local tradition.
