Sint-Remacluskerk

Sint-Remacluskerk is a church building in Romanesque Revival style located in the Belgian spa town of Spa. It features a double-tower front with octagonal spires, a basilica-like nave, a central tower set on a tambour, and four additional towers at the transept ends.

The building was constructed in 1885 over earlier religious structures and inaugurated in 1886 under the design of architect Eugène Charpentier. Its Romanesque Revival style merges Rhenish and Romanesque elements with 19th-century architectural innovations.

The church is dedicated to Saint Remaclus, a revered figure in the region's spiritual life. His name remains closely tied to Spa and shapes the religious identity of the community.

The church stands on Place Achille Salee, within easy walking distance of Spa's main attractions. Its location east of Spa Casino and south of the Peter-the-Great spring source makes it simple to locate.

The architecture blends Rhenish Romanesque with novel 19th-century solutions, making the building a transitional work between tradition and modernity. This mix of stylistic layers is relatively uncommon in church buildings from that era.
