Church of Saint Etienne, Waha

This remarkable edifice dating from 1050 is the oldest Romanesque church in the country. It contains interesting furnishing, in particular the works of the master of Waha, superb statues of saints, the baptismal tank and, the only contemporary element, stained glass windows done by Louis-Marie Londot and by Jean-Michel Folon which recall the martyrdom of Saint Stephen.

Saint Remacle, Marche-en-Famenne

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.
