Religious Heritage Sites

Genk’s religious landscape is a reflection of its industrial history and multicultural community. This collection features the impressive "mine cathedrals"—grand churches like Heilig-Hartkerk and Christus Koningkerk built to serve 20th-century mining neighborhoods—alongside Ukrainian Orthodox and Catholic churches. The list also highlights the city's diversity through its numerous mosques, such as the Moroccan-style Hassan Ibn Tabet, and traditional sites like the Wiemesmeer Lourdes Grotto.
