Church of St. Vincent

Church of St. Vincent is a Romanesque worship building in Evere with a square tower supported by thick stone walls at its core. Inside, wooden carved figures and paintings from different centuries decorate the interior space.

A sanctuary at this location dates back to the 7th century when a leader established a building to honor his father. The structure evolved over centuries into the Romanesque church visible today.

The church served as the religious center of Evere until 1906, drawing the community together for important celebrations and spiritual life. The building remains a landmark that shapes how locals connect with their past.

The building sits on Saint-Vincent Square and is easy to spot from the outside, while the painted interior spaces offer decent light for viewing. The wooden sculptures and wall paintings are best appreciated during daylight hours.

The stained glass windows inside date from the 1980s and display modern scenes that stand in sharp contrast to the medieval artworks. This contemporary addition shows how the building has remained active and evolving.
