Heilig-Hartkerk, Sacred Heart Church in Roeselare, Belgium

The Heilig-Hartkerk is a parish church on Hippoliet Spilleboutdreef in Roeselare, built of tan brick in a restrained Art Deco style with stylised historicising elements to a design by Alfons Van Coillie. A tall square tower with a hipped roof is built forward on the right, its face pierced by vertical rows of narrow openings and carrying a white clock inscribed "HEILIG HART"; the nave beside it has tall narrow windows under a steep red tiled roof.

Construction started in 1932 after the parish of Saint Michael split to provide worship space for neighbourhoods that grew quickly when the city expanded after the First World War. Major repairs took place during the 1980s to address wear, and the tower was repaired again in the late 1990s to fix damage from weather and age.

The name refers to the Sacred Heart, the devotion to which the high altar and the two side altars are dedicated; the side altars honour Our Lady and Margaretha-Maria Alacoque, the 17th-century Visitation nun who promoted the devotion. The 1957 organ was built by the firm Loncke. Brick confessionals stand in the side chapels.

The church stands on Hippoliet Spilleboutdreef 13 in the southeastern part of Roeselare and is easy to reach by local roads. Visitors enter through the main door on the west side, services take place regularly, and the building is usually open in the morning or early afternoon for individual visits.

The roof combines broken arch supports made of reinforced concrete with an angled barrel vault that rests directly on brick pillars instead of traditional columns. This construction method was modern in the 1930s and allowed a large open interior without extra supporting walls or visible wooden beams.
