More about this church
Description
Saint Victor's Church is a neo-Romanesque sanctuary with three naves built in 1870. The bell tower was restored according to a 1939 project, while the interior was refurbished in 1968 by the architect René Michaux, from Couvin.
Over the last ten years, a major restoration project has been completed (heating, sanitary facilities, paintings, lighting, winter chapel) and recently, a citizen's organ restoration project with square pipes, which you will have the opportunity to appreciate during your visit.
