Église Saint-Rémy d'Ottignies

The Saint Remy Church features brick construction with ferruginous sandstone blocks forming its foundation and facades, displaying classical architectural elements throughout its structure.

Following the destruction of the previous church by fire in 1726, the current Saint Remy Church was constructed between 1783 and 1785 under the supervision of Aywières Abbey.

The interior of Saint Remy Church underwent modifications in 1972 to align with Vatican II Council requirements, reflecting changes in Catholic liturgical practices.

The church maintains regular religious services under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels, with detailed schedules available through the parish office.

During World War II allied bombing in 1944, the church survived with minimal damage, losing only six stained glass windows while surrounding structures faced greater impact.
