Turnhout - Sint-Pieterskerk

Sint-Pieterskerk stands in the Grote Markt and its oldest parts date from the 13th C; however from the 15th to the 18th C it was rebuilt and enlarged on several occasions, especially around the remarkable ring of chapels surrounding the choir (1484). Notable in the interior are an "Ecce Homo" (early 15th C.), the confessionals, the high altar of 1740 by Walter Pompe and an artistic choir screen. The tower contains a carillon of 50 bells.
