Description
The church was very badly damaged during the battle of the Ardennes but was able to be restored. From the outside it is the massive square tower in local sandstone which is most noticeable.
Inside, attention is drawn to the coloured 16th century vault which illustrates scenes from the bible and from daily life. The baptismal fonts are in stone from the Meuse. Major pieces worth seeing are the Romanesque high altar and the 17th century pulpit attributed to the local artist, Jean- Georges Scholtus.
