Tips

This Neoclassical church opened for worship in 1834 and was built by the contractor Jacques-Modeste Guillemard of Longwy. The imposing portal, with four colossal columns topped with Ionic capitals, rests on a triangular pediment decorated with a bas-relief.
Inside the church stands an interesting pulpit from 1745 by the sculptor Martin Jacques, who came from the former Recollects convent. The panels are decorated with depictions of the four evangelists and the sower.

At the end of the 1950s, the church interior was redecorated by the architect Alexis Bodson of Virton. Four stained-glass windows by Louis-Marie Londot also date from this period. Other stained-glass windows have been installed in recent years. At the back of the church hangs a large painting by Gaspard de Crayer from the early 17th century, depicting the apparition of the Virgin Mary to Saint Bernard.
Since June 21, 2014, the church has been equipped with a carillon of 11 bronze bells. Their sound is of great purity, and the melodies were recorded with the help of Camille Bodson, a renowned musician from the Gaume region.
