Saint Hadelin Church, Romanesque church in Celles, Belgium.
The Saint Hadelin Church features a defensive tower, whitewashed walls, and stone quadrangular pillars supporting a wooden ceiling in its five-bay nave.
Built in the 11th century, the church contains two crypts from the 7th and 12th centuries, with Merovingian sarcophagi and stone tombs of local aristocratic families.
The church preserves 13th-century wooden choir stalls where canons gathered, along with baptismal fonts and numerous religious statues from the medieval period.
Visitors can arrange guided tours in French and Dutch by contacting the tourism office at +32 82 22 32 14 or info@tourismehouyet.be.
The western crypt maintains vaulted ribs supported by four pillars that replaced Ottoman-style columns in 1595, with an opening for Saint Hadelin's shrine.
