Sint-Peter's church - Wavreille

Description

This neo-Gothic church was rebuilt in 1783. The choir was moved back and a sacristy was added, thus extending the building. The last renovation works date from 1883. The building was repainted in 1987. The interior houses two painted wooden statues from the 18th century and a rather unusual baptismal font, which is decorated with 4 sculpted heads typical for the 18th century. The old presbytery (1657) was built right door next to the church. A statue of Our Lady of Beauraing stands in front of the church. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Wavreille stone quarry workers would carry the statue of their patron Saint, Saint Barbara to the church, after which a special mass was held.
