Very present in the urban landscape of the city thanks to its Baroque bell tower, the current Gothic edifice with the look of limestone dates from around 1500 and replaces a structure founded without a doubt in the 9th century, which was destroyed probably by the fire of 1484.

A testament to the Mosan Gothic school in the region, the church of Saint-Remaclus has a simple, legible plan, with a chancel almost as long as the nave. The nave, transept and choir, which date from the Late Middle Ages, bear witness to the flamboyant Gothic style of this period, in particular with the flame shapes in the bays (known as infills) and the removal of the triforium.

Significant collection of sculpted heads on the springing of archways and of ribs as well as under the cornices of the great nave that announce the Renaissance and a world full of change with the famous “In Praise of Folly” by Erasmus, published in 1509. Numerous works of art in polychrome wood and other pieces from the 15th and 19th centuries. The current stained glass windows (1974) were designed by Louis-Marie Londot.

A great tower pierced with a classical portal dated 1715.
