Saint Judoc Church, Religious heritage site in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Belgium.

Saint Judoc Church is a neo-Baroque church on Chaussée de Louvain, facing Saint-Josse Square. Its light grey and tan stone facade rises into a square tower topped by a cross, with a carved panel and corner pinnacles. Below the tower, a tall arched window sits between columns, and three dark wooden doors open at ground level, flanked by flags.

Construction began in 1864 under Jean-Frédéric Van der Rit, who completed the sacristy, choir, transept and four bays before resigning on 4 June 1867. Jules-Jacques Van Ysendyck then finished the rood screen and narthex and designed the main facade, erected in 1891. The church was built in Jesuit Baroque style, contrary to the prevailing neo-Gothic fashion.

The church bears the name of Saint Judoc, an Irish missionary, and remains central to the spiritual life of the neighborhood. Today it continues to serve as a gathering place for Catholic worship and community events.

The church stands on Chaussée de Louvain, facing Place Saint-Josse, and is paired visually with the Saint-Joseph church via the Rue des Deux Églises. The main entrance is reached from the pavement along the chaussée, with the three wooden doors at the base of the facade. It remains an active parish church of the Les Coteaux pastoral unit, so visits should avoid service times.

The church was designed by two different architects, which resulted in interesting contrasts in details and stylistic elements throughout the building. This collaboration between two artists makes the structure a notable example of architectural variety from that era.
