Our Lady of St. Peter's Church, Baroque church at Sint-Pietersplein, Belgium
The Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Sint-Pieterskerk features pure baroque architecture with elongated windows, ornate details, and a symmetrical facade facing Sint-Pietersplein in Ghent.
Construction of the church began in 1629 under architect Pieter Huyssens, replacing a Romanesque abbey church destroyed during religious conflicts at the end of the 16th century.
The church houses tombs of notable historical figures including Baldwin I, Baldwin II, Arnulf I, Arnulf II, and Baldwin IV of Flanders.
Located on Kantienberg in Ghent, the church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours exploring its architectural elements and historical significance.
The church received its current name after combining the titles of Sint-Pieterskerk and Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk following the destruction of the latter in 1799.
