Saint Judoc Church

Saint Judoc Church is a 19th-century house of worship located at the corner of Chaussée de Louvain and Rue Saint-Josse in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode. The structure displays typical architectural features of the period with solid stone walls, tall windows, and a prominent entrance for visitors.

The church was built and opened in 1865 by architects Jean-Frédéric Van der Rit and Jules-Jacques Van Ysendijck. It received official protection status in 2009 and remains a significant example of mid-19th-century Belgian religious architecture.

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 is located in a well-connected neighborhood with easy access to public transportation and tram lines. Visitors should know that this is an active place of worship where respectful behavior is expected during services.

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.
