Sint-Martinuskerk, Catholic church in Genk, Belgium
The Sint-Martinuskerk features a modern Gothic architectural design with a square tower topped by a tent-shaped roof and constructed with brick materials.
The current church stands on a location where religious buildings existed since 800, including a wooden chapel and subsequent stone structures through centuries.
The church contains several 20th-century sculptures by artist Raf Mailleux and preserves a 16th-century statue of the Virgin Mary with Child from its predecessor.
The church measures 60 meters in length and 25 meters in width, with a 64-meter-high tower that houses a carillon of 52 bells installed in 1960.
The modern building rests upon a mound created from debris of the previous church, which was destroyed during the 1944 bombing of Genk.
