Sint-Pieterskerk, Roman Catholic church in Turnhout, Belgium
The Sint-Pieterskerk features a simple exterior design contrasting with an interior containing detailed artworks, sculptures, and a notable 1862 pulpit.
The church dates from the 12th century, with the western tower remaining as the oldest section, while major renovations occurred in the 15th and 18th centuries.
The church houses a collection of religious treasures, including baroque altars, sculptures, paintings, and stained glass windows depicting biblical narratives.
Visitors can explore the church from Tuesday to Saturday between 08:30 and 17:00, and on Sundays from 09:30 to 17:00 without entrance fees.
A natural phenomenon involving sunlight and mosquito swarms created an illusion of flames in the church, giving Turnhout residents the nickname 'mosquito extinguishers'.
