St. Gummarus Church is one of the most striking monuments in our city. The Gothic church was already protected by Royal Decree in 1939. It is one of the most remarkable church buildings in Flanders, boasting one of the oldest monumental towers in the Duchy of Brabant. It took approximately 200 years to build. Its history is closely linked to that of Lier, Flanders, and Europe. It not only serves an important religious function but also constitutes an art and cultural heritage site.

Restoration work on St. Gummarus Church is in full swing. By 2029, the entire exterior of the church, the entire interior, and its most important works of art and stained-glass windows will be restored.
