Open Churches Days at
Saint Vincent

St Vincent's Church stands as the oldest preserved structure in Evere, dedicated to Saint Vincent Madelgarius, founder of the Soignies abbey. Historical records suggest a religious site as early as the 8th century. The base of the tower dates from the 13th century. The current church is the result of several stages of reconstruction and extension works, taking place from 1705 to 1866.

Allied bombings of 1944 damaged the church and destroyed the old presbytery; the current presbytery was newly built during the post-war restoration efforts. An iconic linden tree, planted in 1930 to mark Belgium's centenary, still  adorns the south side lawn.

Notably, the church houses a Merklin/Schyven organ from 1873 with 27 stops, still largely functional  and retaining much of its original charm. The interior also boasts spectacular stained-glass windows crafted by Pierre Majerus in the mid-1980s, their animal themes reflecting the rural history of Evere. The 2 bells in the tower were cast in 1950 and are dedicated to Mary and St.Vincent. A few historically valuable polychrome wooden statues are dated to the late 16th century.
