Saint Peter's Church in Xhignesse, Romanesque church in Xhignesse, Belgium

The church stands on a small elevation surrounded by a cemetery containing numerous graves dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.

The current structure, built between the 11th and 12th centuries, replaced an initial monastic building from the early 8th century.

The limestone and sandstone walls feature decorative arcatures and niches in the chancel, representing an early example of this architectural style.

Located at Route de Xhignesse in Hamoir, the church serves as a venue for regular religious services and contemporary art exhibitions.

The interior preserves 16th-century baptismal fonts and an oak polychromatic pulpit from the second half of the 17th century.
