Saint Peter's Church
The 15th-century Saint Peter’s Church is a classic example of Late Gothic architecture.
About Saint Peter's Church
The church with belfry was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage in 1999. From the Dirk Boutslaan, you can clearly see the towers have never been completed due to an unstable soil. In 2020, the fully restored Saint Peter's Church reopened with a revamped layout and visitor experience. Here, you can discover a unique collection of artworks that are still kept in their original sites. The church treasures come to life through an innovative experience via tablet.
Aside from Bouts' work, the church houses many other art treasures, like the 'Triumphal Cross' by Jan Borman, the tomb of Henry I and the chapel of ‘Proud Margaret’.
