The architect, Emile Coulon, is also the architect of the Saint-Lambert church in Jodoigne and the Saint-Sulpice church in Beauvechain.

The current church of Saint-Jean-Geest, dedicated to Saint George, was built in 1870-71. The old one dated from the Gothic period. It consisted of a nave with side aisles, a transept, and a choir. The latter consisted of a single bay and a three-sided apse. In this church, which had undergone numerous restorations, only one truly archaeological detail was noted: a beautiful Gothic-style piscina [...]. The high altar was dedicated to Saint George, and the side altars were placed under the invocation of the Holy Trinity and the Assumption of the Virgin. Three bells hung in the tower. In April 1870, a new church began to be built a little further into the center of the town, designed by the architect Coulon. It was built in the Renaissance style and presents the form of a basilica topped by three apses of unequal size. Each apse has three blind sides, except that the choir has an additional large bay; behind the lateral apses extend two sacristies. The naves form five bays and are separated from each other by two rows of columns supporting arched arcades; the vaults, like that of the choir, are cross-ribbed, and the middle nave, higher than the lateral naves, receives daylight through a second row of windows. The facade of the church is completed by two half-gables, each pierced by an arched window; here, on the left, are the baptismal font; on the right, a repository or refuge. Buttresses support the façade, and pilaster buttresses support the other parts of the building, which was completed during the summer of 1871. Brick was used, except that white stone from France and Gobertange was also used for the façade and tower. Source and more information: https://www.jodoigne.be/jodoigne/information/saint-jean-geest

The church of Saint-Jean-Geest is not dedicated to this saint, as one might think, but to Saint George. Since the thirteenth century, it was indebted to the abbey of Aywières. But the tithes and the revenues of the parish were disputed for a long time. The current church was built in 1870-1871. (Ville de Jodoigne)

Heritage information about the station (description): This is a good example of a rural station that was built by the State Railways in 1908. Characteristic brick architecture in a particularly elaborate decorative design with bricks using bush-hammered natural stone blocks. A so-called 'logis des piocheurs' has also been preserved here. The Landen-Tamines line was abolished in 1959. Building built on an elongated floor plan consisting of: a main volume (home, waiting rooms 1st and 2nd class) of four bays and two storeys under a saddle roof (now with artificial slates, previously with natural slates), a low wing of seven bays (waiting room 3rd class, office, storage area) also under a saddle roof and on the other side an outbuilding (laundry, coal storage area and lampisterie) under a hipped roof. Architecture characterized by natural stone bush-hammered plinth, facades in red smooth brick with horizontal bands (yellow and gray brick) and wooden cornices with profiled cornice blocks. Natural stone blocks with the name of the station are incorporated in the facades. The interior was changed. Separate annex: the so-called 'logement des piocheurs' in half-timbered construction (wood and brick). In the garden of the station master there are two approximately one hundred year old yew trees.

Never just call the former station of Racour-Landen "former station". First of all, there is the protected station itself. Secondly, thirdly, fourthly and so on, there is much more. For example, you have an orchard where you can rest and picnic and pick now and then. There is an information board about the station and one about nature and one about Racour and one about all sorts of other things for the inquisitive among us. And then there are remnants from that station past. There is even the entire area around the station, protected as a village view. That is because of its industrial-archaeological value. But it is also simply beautiful there. Quote: "Because of its industrial-archaeological value, the area around Racour station is also protected as a village view. In addition to the protected station building and the 'logis des piocheurs', the station master's garden with two yew trees of approximately 100 years old and the former railway bed are also part of it."

See https://www.komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/7164887 Or if you want to see a somewhat older train, just walk on that path past the old station that you can admire from there. Or the miniature of the station. Or beautiful views. Or, well, there is quite a lot and something for everyone I think. Just enjoy this spot and what you see and find on a relatively small surface, for some undoubtedly a spot with multiple highlights.

Racour station was a railway station on line 147 (Landen-Tamines), active from 1893 to 1959. The station building is now a protected monument and partly furnished as a holiday home. A cycle and walking path runs over the former railway line, while at the station some sections of track and old wagons have been preserved.
