Church of Saint Remaclus

The current church building was erected on the site of two earlier, pre-Romanesque churches, the oldest of which was built during the 9th century. The current structure dates from the middle of the 12th century and was built as a priory, a dependency of the Princely Abbey of Stavelot-Malmedy. During repair works in the 17th century, a Roman inscribed stone tablet from the 2nd century was re-used as building material and incorporated into the current building. It was formally classified as cultural heritage in 1933. Restoration works were carried out on the church 1952–1953.^[1][2]

The church is a basilica in form, consisting of a western tower (since the 19th century open towards the nave), a central nave and two aisles. The chancel ends in an apse, and is flanked by two lower apses at the eastern end of the aisles.^[1] The columns supporting the ceiling date from the 16th century and replaced earlier piers.^[3] The building material is fieldstone, consisting of sandstone and limestone, and the roof is covered in slate. The church spire is from the 19th century. ^[1]The church has been described as a typical example of a Belgian Romanesque country church.^[3]
