Sint-Amandus en Sint-Luciakerk

This red brick church features Gothic architecture with a 14th-century octagonal tower and two naves of different widths built from local fieldstone materials.

First mentioned in 1103, the church was connected to Saint-Amand-les-Eaux Abbey and rebuilt multiple times following destruction during the 1566 Iconoclasm period.

The building houses early 20th-century neo-Gothic furniture and modern stained glass windows created by Dirk Slabbinck during the 1980s restoration period.

The church remains open daily to visitors and continues hosting religious services as well as community events for the local parish congregation.

A rare example of a two-nave church structure, it preserves 16th and 18th-century tombstones embedded within its western facade wall.
