Sint-Catharinakerk, Gothic church in Diest, Belgium.
The Sint-Catharinakerk features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses that exemplify medieval architectural techniques of religious buildings in Belgium.
Built in the 13th century for the Beguinage community, this church reflects the religious practices and social structures of medieval Flanders.
The interior contains artworks from notable Flemish masters, including paintings by Theodoor Van Loon, Frans Francken II, and Jan Erasmus Quellinus.
From June to September, visitors can explore the church Tuesday through Sunday between 1 PM and 5 PM, while winter hours operate monthly.
The contrast between the simple exterior structure and the elaborate baroque interior creates an unexpected visual experience for first-time visitors.
