Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Wavre
Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Wavre, Gothic church in Wavre, Belgium.
The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church features a Latin cross layout with three naves, a polygonal apse choir, and ribbed vaults supported by crossing arches.
Construction of the church began in 1470, using local sandstone commissioned by Affligem Abbey, and underwent multiple reconstructions following fires in 1568, 1582, and 1604.
The church houses 16th-century murals discovered in the 1970s within the transept arms, including depictions of Saint Guidon in the southern section.
The church maintains regular mass schedules during weekends and provides guided tours for visitors interested in exploring its architectural elements.
A French cannonball from the 1815 Battle of Wavre remains embedded in one of the church pillars, marked by a commemorative plaque.
