Carillon concert performed by carillonneur Chantal Mollet
To mark the Walloon Water Days, Chantal Mollet will ring the church bells with a touch of something new! The area around the church and the entrance to Enghien Park are ideal spots for listening to the carillon.
The carillon at Saint-Nicolas Church is one of the oldest in Belgium. It has 51 bells; the oldest dates back to 1512, and the largest weighs 2,750 kg.
This 16th-century Antwerp altarpiece is regarded as one of the finest in Belgium. Through a series of small sculpted scenes, the altarpiece vividly depicts the life of Mary from the Annunciation to the birth of the infant Jesus.
A general tour of the church exploring the theme ‘Divinely funny: the hidden humour of our heritage – joy is the most beautiful face of faith’.
