The Saint-Pierre d'Onnezies church is a historic building probably dating from the Middle Ages. This church has witnessed many events over the centuries. It is notable for its priests, listed since 1600, and for its active parish community. The church and surrounding area also offer hiking trails.

The church "Église Saint-Pierre d'Onnezies" was dedicated to Saint Peter (Peter). Simon, nicknamed Peter (rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he – together with his brother – was called by Jesus Christ to be the “fisher of men”. According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two-thousand-year line of popes succeeds him. On statues and paintings Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand, this attribute refers to the Bible passage in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (chapter 16, verse 19). Peter and Paul are also known as the “Princes of the Apostles”, their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.

The tower, in the Gothic style of Hainaut, dates from the 16th century. In fact, from this period only the portal remains. The window on the first floor was built in the 17th century. The rest of the construction is spread between 1847 and 1852. In the furniture, in the baptismal font, a statue of Saint Peter dates from the 15th century (and maybe even from an earlier period). The altar of the virgin is from the 18th century with a statue of the Madonna and Child from the same period. Sainte Anne dates back to the 16th century. The altar on the right with a carved group from the 18th century represents Saint Hubertus on horseback. On the same altar is another 16th-century statue of Saint Peter, reminding us that Saint Peter and Saint Hubertus are the two patrons of the parish.
