Tips
The Sint-Rochuskerk is a Roman Catholic church building in the West Flemish city of Blankenberge, located at Elisabethstraat 1.
It is a large brick church with natural stone ornamental elements. The church is built in an eclectic style with neo-Gothic and especially neo-Romanesque elements. The church was built from 1884-1889 to a design by Verhaegen and J. de Bethune. The tower was added in 1903.
The church was built in response to the expansion of the seaside resort of Blankenberge. After all, the old Sint-Antoniuskerk had become too small and was not located in the tourist center.
The semi-built tower is flanked by two stair towers. It has an octagonal spire, flanked by four corner turrets.

The place in Belgium is very diverse, interesting due to the different architecture and sculptures, somehow reminiscent of Holland and Germany
