Church of Saint Remaclus

The current structure dates from the middle of the 12th century and was built as a priory, a dependency of the Princely Abbey of Stavelot-Malmedy.

During repair works in the 17th century, a Roman inscribed stone tablet from the 2nd century was re-used as building material and incorporated into the current building.

[1][2] The church is a basilica in form, consisting of a western tower (since the 19th century open towards the nave), a central nave and two aisles.

[1] The columns supporting the ceiling date from the 16th century and replaced earlier piers.

[3] The building material is fieldstone, consisting of sandstone and limestone, and the roof is covered in slate.
