St. Martin's Church

Description

The Sint-Martinuskerk is a church building in the Belgian municipality of Melle. The church is dedicated to Martin of Tours.
Originally there was a Romanesque cross church here, possibly from the 12th century. In the attempt in 1837 to enlarge this building, it collapsed and was demolished. The same year, the construction of a new church started according to the plans of architect Louis Minard. Of this church the tower collapsed in 1837, which was rebuilt in 1838; completion of the church in 1838 and consecration in 1841. This simple neo-Romanesque country church has two statues in the blind wall surfaces of the façade: Pope Cornelius and Anthony of Egypt, made by the local sculptor Jules Vits. He also designed the Stations of the Cross in the church.
