Event Host Building

Saint Peter

This semi-Classical style church was built on the site of an ancient 11th century building.. It was under the tutelage of the Abbey of Aulne as the timeline above the entrance door indicates.

The bulbous bell tower is exceptional for the region and in 1780 it had three bells. Only one of these remained after French troops had passed through. It was replaced in 1984 and is now exhibited in the nave on the left.

Apart from the stained glass windows, numerous tombstones and funeral monuments enhance the interior. Those of Jean-François Hossart and Anne-Marie Philipart include a bas relief depicting Saint Francis of Assisi.

The first priest recorded at Haine-Saint-Pierre is Isaac de Haine in 1206.
