Église Saint-Job, Roman Catholic church in Melen, Belgium

Église Saint-Job is a brick and limestone church built in 1761–1762 to plans by architect Barthélemi Digneffe. It has a square west tower with a stone base and a statue of the Virgin in a niche above the entrance portal, three naves, and a flat-ended choir. The tower is topped by a slender spire.

An earlier Gothic building from the 15th century deteriorated over the centuries and underwent reconstruction in 1761-1762 to create the Renaissance structure standing today. This rebuilding reflected changing tastes and construction methods of the 18th century.

The church is dedicated to Saint Job alone; devotion to him took effect at the end of the 16th century after the plague epidemics of the 1560s. The parish was first mentioned in 1699 and included the villages of Evegnée, Tignée, Micheroux and the hamlet of Liery. Inside, the pulpit is in Louis XIII style, while the confessionals are in Régence style.

The church remains active for worship with regular services held for the community. Visiting during daytime hours is advisable, and it is best to check ahead if you plan to attend specific religious services or ceremonies.

The organ case and main organ were built in 1845 by Dieudonné Comblain, with the keyboard made in Blegny the same year. In 1865 Pereboom-Leyser of Maastricht added the positif. The two largest bells installed by curé Spits in 1869 were removed by the Germans during the Second World War and only replaced in 1954 under curé Thomsin.
