Bastogne - Saint-Pierre

The founding of the church of Saint-Pierre (Place Saint-Pierre) can be traced back to the seventh C., though nothing from that time survives. The tower of the present church dates from the 12th C. while the nave, damaged by fire in the 13th C., was later completed in the Meuse Gothic style in the 15th C.

The church interior has several interesting features, chief among which is the nave vaulting, colorfully decorated with scenes from the Old and New Testaments by Renadin de Wicourt. Also noteworthy are the Romanesque fonts, the 12th C. altar, and the Baroque pulpit by Georges Scholtus from Bastogne.
