Guided tour of the altarpiece in the Chapel of Our Lady of Messines
Guided tour
04 June 2023 : 14.00 - 18.00Located in the Saint-Nicolas church, the Notre-Dame de Messines chapel (formerly the Saint-Eloi chapel) houses an Antwerp altarpiece dating from the 16th century, considered to be one of the treasures of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. This altarpiece comes from the castle chapel in the park and relates several scenes from the life of the Virgin. Its completeness, state of preservation and sculptural quality make it one of the most beautiful Antwerp altarpieces still preserved in the world. The central part, carved in oak wood and decorated with paint and gold, consists of 127 figures. An enthusiastic guide will tell you all about it. Duration: 45 minutes.
