Church of Saint Joseph, Catholic church in Waterloo, Belgium
The Saint Joseph Church features a brick tower, a neo-classical dome, and multiple architectural elements from French Baroque classicism period.
The church construction began on June 26, 1687, following the decision of Spanish Netherlands governor Don Francisco Antonio de Agurto to replace a burned forest chapel.
The church building serves as a representation of religious architecture from the late 17th century, displaying the influence of Spanish governance in Belgian territories.
Located near the town center, the church maintains regular religious services and includes a museum in its former presbytery building.
The structure faced ownership challenges during the French Revolution when a Parisian businessman attempted to dismantle it for materials but met local resistance.
