The church has witnessed numerous historical upheavals. It suffered severe damage during the Sack of Dinant in 1466 by Philip the Good and again in 1554 when troops of the Duke of Nevers ravaged the town. Each time, however, the church was carefully restored, with significant efforts undertaken in the 19th century under the direction of architects Léopold Schoonejans, Jules-Jacques Van Ysendyck, and Auguste Van Assche. Their work aimed to restore the church to its original 13th-century splendor. In the early 20th century, the First World War brought further devastation. The church was severely damaged but was rebuilt between 1919 and 1923 by architect Chrétien Veraart. The iconic onion-shaped bell tower, often compared by Victor Hugo to a giant water jug, remains a striking feature against the backdrop of the towering cliffs, symbolizing the fragility of human endeavor. Visitors to the Collegiate Church of Our Lady of Dinant are immediately impressed by its splendor. The church stretches 50 meters in length and 30 meters in the transept. The central nave rises to a height of 22 meters, while the side aisles reach approximately 14 meters. Cylindrical columns support the large arcades of the nave, conveying both majesty and simplicity.

Dinant is a beautiful little town with a rich history and is well worth a stop.

Very pretty along the water

a must-see in Dinant

My muscle was seriously sulking, pleasure rediscovered with my Moustache Game 9, but...there will be training to come

Beautiful castle, which you can see from the cycle path on the other side.

Along the banks of the Meuse. A relaxing bike ride without any headwind.
