Saint George's Memorial Church

Saint George's Memorial Church features brass plaques representing British regiments along its interior walls and contains Canadian military tributes throughout the building.

The church, designed by architect Reginald Blomfield, was built following an appeal by The Ypres League to commemorate 500,000 British and Commonwealth troops from World War I.

The building holds regular Anglican services, maintaining British religious traditions in Belgium while serving as a focal point for military remembrance ceremonies.

The church welcomes visitors daily from 9:30 AM until dusk, with shorter hours during winter months when it closes at 4:00 PM.

In 2017, the church received eight change-ringing bells from Taylor & Co of Loughborough, becoming the first installation of its type in Belgium.
