Sint-Waldetrudiskerk, Gothic parish church in Herentals, Belgium.
The Sint-Waldetrudiskerk features a central tower situated between the chancel and nave, constructed entirely from white limestone following Brabantine Gothic design.
Construction of the church began in the 14th century, with the choir completed in 1449 and additional modifications made in 1785 with the addition of the sacristy.
The church displays numerous art pieces, including a rare signed altarpiece by Passier Borreman from 1515-1525, depicting the martyrdom of Saints Crispin and Crispinian.
Located at Kerkplein in Herentals, the church welcomes visitors from Friday to Sunday between 14:00 and 17:00 during June through September.
The church tower appears to sink into the nave due to the architectural contrast between the 14th-century tower and the later 15th-century nave construction.
