Sint-Pieterskerk

The Sint-Pieterskerk features a three-aisled cruciform basilica with a west tower constructed from rubble stone, flint, and quartzite materials.

The church's initial construction dates to the 11th century, with a Romanesque nave built between 1026 and 1038, followed by the west tower in the 12th century.

The church interior contains 18th-century paintings depicting Saint John the Evangelist and the Baptism of Jesus, along with various saint statues and marble altars.

The church maintains regular religious services and contains multiple architectural elements from different periods, including Gothic vaults in the transept and choir sections.

The graveyard houses tombstones from the 16th to 18th centuries, including markers for owners of Kasteel Printhagen and chapter dignitaries of historical significance.
