Church of Our Lady of Mousty Ottignies-LouvainLaNeuve

Description

Notre-Dame De Mousty Church

The Notre-Dame de Mousty church was perhaps built on the site (or nearby) of a Gallo-Roman villa. The building is a Romanesque-style church from the 11th century. The church was likely dependent on a small chapter of canons from the 11th to the 13th century. The etymology of the place – Mousty (Moustiers in 1230) is indeed derived from the Latin monasterium – may be a trace of this, but this word could simply refer to places of worship, without a religious community being associated with it.

The Romanesque part consists of rubble gathered in opus incertum, including pieces of tiles and bricks that likely come from a Gallo-Roman villa. It is decorated with a large blind arcade, which has two semi-circular arches at the base, pierced with a small curved window (restored) that illuminates the crypt.
