    Hiking

    From an ecclesiastical point of view, the village of L'Ecluse was dependent on Meldert, while the chapel, dedicated in the Middle Ages to Our Lady (and now to Saint Roch), the presbytery and some houses belonged to Hoegaarden. The chapel was just a simple building where mass was said on Sundays and holidays and catechism was taught. Traditionally, the dead of the village were buried in or around the chapel. The right to pass belonged to the local gentleman "van Quabeke"...

    Hiking

    The Sint-Rochuskerk of L'Ecluse is built on a hill overlooking the village. It is one of the many examples of the Neo-Romanesque style that characterized 19th-century architecture, and in particular that of Brabant churches.

    In this case, the Romanesque style was reinterpreted by the builders of the time (1863) in brick and Gobertange stone. The following elements are typically Romanesque: the portal and the round-arched windows, quatrefoils and arcade friezes.

    The church's enclosure wall surrounds the elegant neoclassical presbytery from 1831. The Gobertange stone emphasizes the architectural details.
