Saint Remigius Church (Franc-Waret)
Saint Remigius Church
Located in the village of Franc-Waret near Namur, this 17th-century church is characterized by a contrast between its simple exterior and a highly detailed interior. Visitors go here specifically to see the intricate stucco work on the ceiling, which features sculptures depicting the Trinity and the Holy Family.
Getting There
The church is situated outside the center of Namur. The most direct way to reach the village of Franc-Waret is by car, which typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. Public transport options are limited and may require a combination of regional trains and local buses or taxis.
Visit Duration
Because the primary draw is the ceiling artistry and the architectural layout, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes inside the building.
When to Visit
The church is generally quiet and does not experience the heavy crowds found in major Belgian city centers. It is advisable to visit during daylight hours to ensure the natural light illuminates the ceiling sculptures clearly.

- Scladina (5.2km)
