Saint-Sulpice church, Jumet, Catholic parish church in Jumet, Belgium

Saint-Sulpice church in Jumet is a classical brick and limestone building erected between 1750 and 1753. It has six bayed naves flanked by aisles, a three-sided transept, and a choir with a polygonal ambulatory and a sacristy on its axis. The chamfered base is dimension stone at the front and rubble and sandstone elsewhere; all angles are toothed and every second stone is bossed.

Excavations revealed that the site was occupied for over 1000 years with three earlier churches preceding the current building. The present church was constructed between 1750 and 1753, replacing older structures at this sacred location.

The church is dedicated to Sulpitius the Pious, and the parish belonged to the old deanery of Fleurus in the Diocese of Liège before passing to Namur in 1559 and Tournai in 1801. A 1445 register records an altar to Saint Nicholas, and a 1518 register an altar to the Virgin Mary beside the main altar.

Visitors should respect the church as an active place of worship and follow appropriate conduct and dress codes while inside. Check opening hours beforehand as the church may have limited access during services or other religious events.

The 1967 restoration by architect Simon Brigode allowed excavations from 16 to 22 August 1967 under Luc-Francis Genicot. These revealed three earlier churches, including a pre-Romanesque nave 4.7 metres wide and a 17th-century chancel 8.25 metres deep with four buttresses.
