Sint-Albertuskerk, Mine cathedral in Zwartberg, Belgium.

The Sint-Albertuskerk features high pointed windows, a tower influenced by West Flemish brick Gothic, and a classical round-arched main portal entrance.

Construction of Sint-Albertuskerk began in January 1939 under architect Henry Lacoste, with its first consecration taking place on October 10, 1941.

The church contains sculptures of saints and a Way of the Cross designed by Jozef de Falloise, along with concrete stained glass windows depicting twelve apostles.

The church building maintains regular services and community gatherings, with its main entrance located at Kerkplein 2 on Hoevenzavellaan in Genk.

The copper baptismal font with its pyramidal lid, originally placed in the ground floor tower chapel, now occupies a central position in the church.
