This typical example of high Gothic architecture was originally designed to be a full-fledged cathedral, but never made it much beyond the transept. That's why, at the western end of the building, the brick wall contrasts heavily with the traditional sandstone of all other parts. Many interesting sculptures and paintings to visit, of which the P. P. Rubens "St. Rochus and the Plague patients" is the top.

This church has a big history. With the Industrial revolution Aalst was a poor city, were Socialists were batteling against the establishment and Priester Daens took the side of the poor people. The bisschop didn't like this Priest who was also against the way that the rich were misusing the poverty of the population. In this church, Priester Daens did a lot of good for the people, also in his speeches. The church is located near the big Market of Aalst, who is full of historical buildings. You should visit this beautifull little city...the second biggest City of East-Flanders after Ghent!

Most beautiful church in the city to visit, momentarily being renovated but you can visit. Gothic by origin, with some Baroque parts, and a imposant organ.

This church is being renovated but nonetheless is worth a visit. The most impressive painting is by P.P. Rubins. The big organ above the entrance door needs renovating. It is clearly a long term project requiring a lot of finances. Hope the government sees the need to preserve this monumental church for future generations.

The church, one of the larger ones in Flandres, has still a few of the original ceiling paintings made around 1500. Further there are a few barok works of art, including a probable painting from the Rubens workshop and a sacristy tower. There is a helpful leaflet detailing what there is to see in the church. The church does only have a small tower.

This church is the oldest of the city Aalst. Locals call it the 'old church'. It's a nice building to see. Insight, there is a tableau painted by PP Rubens. An old Flemish master painter from the 17th siècle.
The church itself actually was supposed to be bigger but was never finished.

I am very surprise about how big are churches in the Flander's region. Even the most small village has a impressive church to visit. This one in Aast is very big and it needs some renovations but still is beautiful and peaceful. I recommend its visit!

There are many such churches in Belgium specifically and many are better and more grand. But if you are in Aalst you just take a peek inside. It is a great site and worth the visit.

As a lot of Churches( this was intended to become a cathedral), this is a place of rest!
Burn a candle, remember loved ones, admire the architecture and art and enjoy the silence...
