Churches & Chapels

Tongeren, Belgium’s oldest city, preserves a diverse collection of religious landmarks ranging from the UNESCO-listed Gothic Basilica of Our Lady to rural pilgrimage sites. This collection highlights the architectural evolution of the region, featuring 13th-century Romanesque structures, Gothic parish churches, and the historic Beguinage church. Beyond the urban center, sites like the Kluis van Vrijhern hermitage and the Sint-Evermaruskapel in Rutten illustrate centuries of local devotion and regional heritage.
