This beautiful building in flamboyant Gothic style, classified in 1938, dates back to the second half of the 15th century but has undergone numerous transformations, particularly due to the fires of 1615 and 1806. The baroque tower dates from 1715. The current stained glass windows (1974) are the work of Louis-Marie Londot from Namur. The heritage of the church includes, among other things, baptismal fonts from the 16th century (Mosane school), a Gothic wall font from 1514, a brass lectern eagle on a marble base from Saint-Remy dated 1763 from the Carmelite convent, as well as numerous polychrome wooden statues including a Calvary from the late 16th century, a Christ in the tomb from the 15th century, a sculpture from the late 16th century representing the Holy Trinity, a Saint Margaret of Antioch from the school of Jean Del Cour (circa 1700), and a standing Virgin with child from the mid-17th century. The nave, transept, and choir, dating from the Late Middle Ages, reflect the flamboyant Gothic style of that era, notably with flame-like shapes in the windows (called remplages), the removal of the triforium (the level between the large windows and the high windows), as well as the pictorial decorations of several corbels already showing an influence of the Renaissance. Numerous marks engraved in the stone served as references for the method of assembling the stones and the identity of the workers who shaped them. Testifying to the Mosane Gothic school in the region, Saint-Remacle Church offers remarkable architecture. It features a simple and readable composition plan, with a choir almost as long as the nave, without a radiating development, a recessed transept, and a sturdy tower, whose portal was pierced at the end of the 17th century. The flying buttresses, the four pinnacles of the tower, and the bell tower of the transept crossing were lost in the fire of 1806 and were never rebuilt. The building has therefore been gradually restored with limited means in the early 19th century (before 1821). The baptismal fonts, preserved in the right wing of the transept of Saint-Remacle Church, date from the early 16th century and were carved from limestone. Characterized by the style of the Mosane school and late Gothic, the sculptures and motifs that adorn the polygonal basin include fenestrations (on the pillar) and foliage around the basin. Four lions are positioned at the lower corners of the pillar. The four male heads adorned with hoods that decorate the basin are a traditional motif representing the cardinal points and the four rivers of Paradise.
