Saint-Sulpice church, Jumet

The brick and limestone structure features six bayed naves, a three-sided transept, and a choir with a polygonal ambulatory within the classical architecture design.

Archaeological excavations in 1967 uncovered evidence of three previous churches on the site, with the earliest traces dating back to the 10th century.

The interior contains an 11th-century baptismal font and several altars dedicated to different saints, reflecting the religious practices of the local community.

The church maintains its status as an active place of worship while being protected as a heritage property since 1949 in the Wallonia region.

Construction of the current building between 1750 and 1753 faced multiple legal challenges regarding costs and architectural dimensions before final completion.
