Église Saint-Brice, Medieval church in Tournai, Belgium
Saint-Brice Church features a square 15th-century tower, a nave with transepts, and a second tower covered in traditional red tiles.
The church suffered extensive damage during World War II bombings due to its location near the railway station and underwent reconstruction until 1954.
Inside the church, contemporary statues by local artist Nelly Mercier stand alongside historical religious artworks, including paintings by Gaspard de Crayer.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands a short walking distance from the main square of Tournai, across the River Scheldt.
The choir section exhibits a triple hall design with wooden ceilings, representing an early architectural style known as hallekerke in Belgian church construction.
