Saint Remaclus

Baptismal font

The church has preserved the baptistery with its Romanesque (12th century) limestone baptismal font at the entrance. It rests on a 50 cm-high Gothic (16th century) stone base, possibly originally part of a wall tabernacle. The font is covered by a 1966 wrought-iron lid by J. Gresse de Marcourt, depicting a cross flanked by a stag and a hind. The stag represents the catechumen longing for the baptismal water.

Stained glass windows

The eight stained glass windows by Louis-Marie Londot were made between 1974 and 1977. The compositions are geometric and very colourful.

Tabernacle

The tabernacle is by Ph. Denis. Only the square door can be seen, with geometrical patterns.

Stations of the Cross

Stations of the Cross (reproductions) are signed "Mains bei Jos. Scholz".

Stele in memory of Anne Joseph Arnold (1802-1889) of Warisy

Anne Joseph Arnold donated most of the furnishings of the Warisy chapel and in particular: the high altar, the altar of the Virgin and that of Our Lady of Lourdes, the pulpit of truth, the Way of the Cross and the statues of Saint Joseph and Saint Anne (she was the great benefactor of the Warisy chapel and the church of Jupille).

Two steles commemorating the deaths of members of the Commonwealth forces

In late 1944–early 1945, the British turned Monseur de Jupille farm into a hospital for front-line wounded. Two British soldiers, possibly from Hives, are buried there. Whether they died during transport or on the farm, and why they weren’t buried in Hotton, remains unknown..
