The Leopold Church

Before 1836, the Basilica on the Market Square was a simultaneous church, that is, both Catholic masses and Protestant services were dedicated there. The cooperation between the Catholics and the Protestants did not go very smoothly.
The Belgian king Leopold l, also Protestant, gave the Protestants a church that was named after him: the Leopold Church.

He wanted to reduce the tensions and prickliness between the Catholics and the Protestants in Limburg, then administered by Belgium. The Leopoldskerkje is a small brick church with a roof rider on the gable roof.
The façade is plastered. The organ in the church is a monument in itself and was built by the famous organ builder Joseph Binvignat.
