Saint Martin's Church -Strépy

Source: openchurches

Description

This rural-looking building was built in 1769 from stone and brick. The old tower of the original, older building stands out. Its foundation dates from the 11th century.

Inside the building, you can admire two painted shrines, those of Saint Ursula (1624) and Saint Frederic (1620). These are small masterpieces, the sides of which are decorated with beautiful miniatures depicting the lives of the saints. The shrine came from the former abbey of Saint-Feuillien du Roeulx and was kept there when the troops of the French Revolution arrived.

Another beautiful piece of furniture is an old wooden Christ in Hainaut Gothic style.

The church is situated in a pleasant green area and overlooks a nature reserve with ponds that are home to interesting flora and fauna.
