The Sint-Genoveva Church is a church building in Zichen-Zussen-Bolder in the Belgian municipality of Riemst in Limburg. The building is located in the church village of Zussen on Pastoor Bollenstraat.

The marlstone building consists of a built-in west tower, a three-aisled nave with three bays, a transept and a choir with two straight bays with a flat closure. The choir is flanked by sacristies. The tower has a pointed arch portal in the west facade in profiled marlstones and hard stone frame, a reverberation hole in the shape of a pointed arch in each side and a constricted needle spire as a roof. The rest of the building is covered by gable roofs. Between the nave and the side aisles are pointed arch arcades on columns. The building has profiled pointed arch windows and a pointed arch frieze below the windows of the transept and choir. In the parts from 1896 there are pointed arch friezes under the cornices. There is a rose window in the choir closure. The spaces are vaulted by rib vaults.

The church is the parish church of the village and is dedicated to Saint Genoveva.

Traditionally, the St. Genoveva Chapel stood in Zussen, which was subordinate to the St. Peter's Parish of Zichen.

The church was built in 1852.

In 1896 the building was enlarged (transept and choir) according to the design of M. Christiaens.
