Basilique Notre-Dame de Chèvremont, Minor basilica in Vaux-sous-Chèvremont, Belgium.

The Basilique Notre-Dame de Chèvremont stands on a hill overlooking the Vesdre River with its Gothic Revival architecture and pentagonal chapel.

Construction of the basilica began in 1877 under Dutch architect Cuypers and contractor Victor Ernotte, reaching completion in 1899.

The basilica received recognition as a patron of Walloon athletes in 1953, leading to a tradition of sports trophies displayed within its walls.

Located near Liege, the basilica remains accessible throughout the year and features seven oratories illustrating the seven sorrows of Jesus's mother.

In 1948, postal stamps were issued to fund the reconstruction of the basilica after damages sustained during World War II.
