Church of St. Vincent, Romanesque church in Evere, Belgium.

The Church of St. Vincent is a brick church on Saint-Vincent Square in Evere, built of local grey and beige stone. Its oldest part is a square Romanesque tower with 90 cm thick walls, topped by a pyramidal roof and a metal cross. A lower side chapel stands to the right of the entrance.

A document of 1120 records the Bishop of Cambrai granting the altars of Evere to the chapter of Soignies, and a parish priest is named in 1247. The square tower was built between 1125 and 1250, making it the oldest building in Evere. Calvinist iconoclasts damaged the church between 1578 and 1585, and it was enlarged in 1705 by architect Edige Vanden Eynde.

The church is dedicated to Saint Vincent of Soignies, whose cult was brought here by Landry around 675. Until 1906 it was Evere's only parish church; the parish itself is first documented in 1247. Several old tombstones remain set against the church walls, including that of Jean De Guchteneere.

The church stands at Sint-Vincentiusstraat 1 on Saint-Vincent Square, its square tower and dark pyramidal roof visible from the street. The entrance is through the central arched doorway with double wooden doors, reached by a low rounded stone step. The tower's north door was walled up in 1602, so visitors enter from the square side.

The four stained-glass windows depicting the Apocalypse were made by glassmaker Pierre Majerus in 1985. The organ dates from 1872 and was built by Joseph Merklin's firm; Pierre Schyven, later responsible for Antwerp Cathedral's organ, ran the workshop at the time. It survives in practically original condition.
