This church is a jewel box. I particularly enjoyed the sculpture of Mary (on the left side). The church was built in 1621, in a Baroque style. If you are new in town, you should definitely pay a visit to this delightful lady.

Nouvelle exposition : à l’aide de 21 panneaux, est retracée l’évolution de l’armement portatif, de l’artillerie, des uniformes de l’Armée belge, des fortifications et de la défense du territoire, y compris la Position Fortifiée de Namur, de 1914 à 1940. Historique: Le Fort d’Emines, établi entre les villages d’Emines et de Saint-Marc (nord-ouest de Namur, à 4,6 kms du centre), est l’un des neuf forts construits entre 1888 et 1891 autour de Namur. Tous les forts ont été conçus par le général Henri Alexis Brialmont et mettent en œuvre un béton non-armé, matériau novateur à l’époque ainsi que de l’artillerie sous coupoles. Le Fort d’Emines fut copieusement bombardé par les canons lourds allemande dès le 23 août 1914 et fut largement ravagé par les explosions des obus. Après la 1ère Guerre mondiale, le Fort d’Emines n’a pas été modernisé par l’Armée belge et a été utilisé comme dépôt de munitions jusqu’aux années 1980 puis a été vendu.
