Discover the Saint-Pierre collegiate church, a listed architectural masterpiece and emblem of a city steeped in history.

Listed as a historical monument in 1862, the collegiate church rises to its full splendour in the heart of the city. It was at first only the simple church of a chapter of canons founded by Beaudoin V, Count of Flanders, in the 11th century. The numerous wars that followed left their mark on the stone, notably during a bombing in August 1944, but it was always rebuilt according to its original plan. Amongst other little wonders, in the sacristy is a 1630 copy of Caravaggio's painting The Crucifixion of St Peter.

Très bel édifice religieux, il est imposant par sa hauteur et surtout sa longueur assez surprenante pour une collégiale, quand vous êtes sur le parking attenant vous ne croyez pas à tant de grandeur et majesté. Sinon son architecture est incroyable et intéressante, de nombreuses chapelles et une hauteur impressionnante de plafond, ne pas manquer de voir les grandes orgue, magnifiques. beaucoup de statues aussi en son intérieur, il y a de quoi à s'étonner!!
