Frommer's Review

This twin-towered Romanesque church dates from 1108. Its Fonts Baptismaux (Baptismal Font) is counted among Belgium's most important historical treasures, a masterpiece of the Mosan Art style that flourished in the Meuse Valley during the Middle Ages. The big copper-and-brass font, cast in the early 1100s by master metalsmith Renier de Huy, rests on the backs of 10 sculptured oxen and is surrounded by five biblical scenes.
