Hamoir Attractions

The road turns away from the river north of Bomal and returns to it in Hamoir. Here the celebrated sculptor Jean Delcour (1627-1707) and his son and painter Jean-Gilles (1632-1695) were born; the latter carried out the painting on the high altar of the village church, whereas the father was responsible for the altar sculpture and part of the tabernacle in the Romanesque church of Saint- Pierre in nearby Xhignesse; this church is notable for the blind arcades in the apse.
