Église Saint-Géry de Limelette

Église Saint-Géry de Limelette is a church built in Romanesque Revival style with a western facade featuring three rounded arches. A square tower on the southern side with progressively larger openings marks the building, while side facades contain three small chapels with arched windows.

The original building was constructed in the 17th century but was completely destroyed during an aerial bombing in 1944. The present structure was rebuilt afterward and has shaped the area ever since.

The church houses a Gothic tomb sculpture from earlier centuries that was discovered during renovation work and depicts two historical figures. Visitors can see this artistic work inside and learn about the area's past through it.

Visiting during daylight hours is best to fully see the architectural details and interior features. The small side chapels are easily accessible from inside and invite closer exploration.

The apse at the back features a large niche with a cross as its focal point. This simple yet striking design is characteristic of the interior arrangement after the church was rebuilt.
