Saint-Hubert - Basilica of Saint-Hubert Basilique

In the Grand-Place, the center of the town which is situated on a slope, stands the Basilica of Saint-Hubert with its 60m/197ft high towers. It has its origins in a Benedictine abbey church founded in the seventh C. which was destroyed by fire on several occasions. The present basilica was rebuilt between 1526 and 1564 and is a good example of Late-Gothic church architecture.

However the facade, renewed in the 18th C., is in a mixture of Renaissance and Baroque work and shows the legend of St Hubert.
