Saint Martin and Saint Hadelin
The only original part of this church is the gothic choir dating from 16th century. It was destroyed several times, the last being on 10th August 1914 when it was burnt down by the Germans.
It was rebuilt in 1924 at the same time as the chapel holding till 2010 the relics of Saint Hadelin. He was a monk disciple of Saint Remacle and lived at Celles near the Lesse in the 7th century. In 1046 the remains of the saint were placed in a reliquary decorated with silver reliefs. It is a work of art from the Meuse region in the form of a sarcophagus with silver panels illustrating the life of the saint (about 1160). It’s at Visé because the community of monks of Saint Hadelin moved here from Celles in 1338.
As well as the reliquary the church has a bust of the saint (14th and 17 th cent.), bas reliefs from Jean Del Cour, a lectern and organs.
