Sint-Leonarduskerk, Gothic parish church in Sint-Lenaarts, Belgium.
The Sint-Leonarduskerk features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and decorative stonework, with tall windows allowing natural light into the interior spaces.
Construction of the church tower began in 1436 and concluded in 1457, while the main building works were completed between 1530 and 1550.
The church maintains its role as a religious center where the annual Leonardus procession takes place on Whit Monday, drawing hundreds of participants.
The church, located at Kerkstraat 9, continues to serve the local community with regular services and remains open for both worship and visits.
The building received the nickname 'Cathedral of the Heath' due to its spatial design and sandstone finishing within the brick structure.
