Église Saint-Georges, Catholic church in Marloie, Belgium.
The Église Saint-Georges is a Catholic church located in Marche-en-Famenne, a town in the Walloon region of Belgium. The building displays typical Belgian ecclesiastical design with historical features alongside later modifications to its structure.
The church was built during a period when religious architecture shaped Belgian communities and experienced the turmoil of the 20th century. A nearby ammunition train accident in 1944 caused damage to the Marloie area during World War II.
The church serves as a meeting place for the community during religious celebrations and local gatherings throughout the year. It remains a familiar landmark for residents of the Walloon region and shapes the character of the town.
The building is centrally located in town and easy to reach on foot. Visiting is typically free, and access is best from the main roads that connect Arlon and Brussels.
Near the church stands the Vieille cense, a fortified farmhouse from the 15th century that once belonged to the Abbey of Saint-Hubert. This medieval structure offers a rare glimpse into the rural past of the area.
