    The parish church was built in three parts and at three different times.
    The choir, dating from 1186, contains the statue of Notre-Dame de Familleureux which is said to be one of the oldest in Belgium (it is estimated to predate 1200). The Virgin, wearing a mural crown and wearing a narrow cloak, is seated in a cathedra, her hands open, and seems to be holding the Child Jesus seated on her left knee.


    Since a miraculous apparition which would have taken place between 1404 and 1411, Familleureux has become a place of pilgrimage where the faithful of the neighboring parishes go in September.

    The outer enclosure of the building offers an unprecedented collection of old crosses, truncated columns and sculpted monuments constituting a kind of open-air art gallery, in particular on the left side where the old cemetery was located.
