Pepinster, BE

Church of Saints-Antoine-ermite-et-Apolline, Pepinster

Situated in the main street of the commune, the church’s exterior is unobtrusive and little noticed. The interior on the other hand holds a surprise. It is one of the most remarkable Neo-Gothic buildings in the country. The interior appointments are of a fine artistic richness. This is due to the initiative of Abbot Balau, vicar of Pepinster in 1891 who attracted the best artists and artisans of the period notably from Liege, Louvain and Gent. The result is impressive.

Church in the Neo-Gothic style dating from 1911. The cult of Our Lady of Lourdes is very much present in this church. On the exterior of the esplanade one immediately notices a reproduction of the grotto where the Virgin appeared to Bernadette Soubirou.
