Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Onbevlekt
Les églises Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Martin d’Assenede, Notre-Dame de l’Assomption de Bassevelde, de la Sainte-Croix de Boekhoute, de la Sainte-Croix-et-Notre-Dame d’Oosteeklo, et de l’Immaculée Conception de ‘s Gravenjansdijk à Bassevelde ouvrent leurs portes cette année en mettant l’accent sur leurs vitraux.
Le thème des Journées des Eglises Ouvertes 2015, « clair-obscur », est une excellente occasion de les mettre en valeur.
Vous trouverez dans ces églises des vitraux issus des ateliers de Samuel Coucke à Bruges, Dobbelaere et Coppejans à Gand, Hochreiter en Geyer à Anvers, Van Nieuwenhoven à Molenbeek-Saint-Jean et Michel Martens à Bruges.
Pour apprécier pleinement les vitraux, il faut de la lumière. Dans une église sombre, on ne peut admirer les vitraux que si le soleil brille. Mais c’est possible également lorsqu’ils sont sur un fond sombre.

Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Onbevlekt
This Neo-Gothic church has three naves and a tower on its south east side. After the parish of ‘sGravenjansdijk was created in 1904, a wooden church was built which served temporarily until another brick one was constructed after the plans of the architect Henri Valcke de Ledeberg. Some restoration was done in 1955, for example to the tower, to repair damage caused by the war in 1944.
In 1978 the stained glass windows in their turn were restored. Four windows coming from a neighbouring convent’s chapel had been incorporated into the transept windows. At the same time the murals were refurbished.
These polychrome frescoes harmonise remarkably with the red brick of the ribbed vault and contrast with the blue stone of the ribs themselves.
The neo gothic furnishings include the high altar in black marble, its altar piece in wood with groups of polychrome statues; the Calvary in the centre , the Last Supper on the left and the laying in the tomb on the right. Also noteworthy is the Stations of the Cross by Aloïs De Beule.
