Saint-Pierre Church in Bastogne

The Saint-Pierre Church features a square tower made of sandstone, rising 20 meters high with walls measuring two meters in thickness.

Records from 893 indicate the first church on this site was Romanesque, while the current structure received Gothic additions during the 16th century.

The polychrome vault from 1536 displays biblical narratives and medieval daily life scenes, presenting a visual record of local religious practices.

Visitors can access the church daily between 8:30 AM and 7:00 PM, with opportunities to view the 12th-century baptismal fonts and Romanesque altar.

The church survived substantial damage during the Battle of the Ardennes and maintains its original 16th-century colored vault depicting both religious and secular scenes.
