Descriptif
Erected on the Grand-Place de Chimay, in the days of the cathedrals, the collegiate church is certainly one of the most remarkable religious buildings in the Province of Hainaut.
This limestone church is made up of a choir in Laonnois Gothic from the 13th century, a vessel in late Hainer Gothic from the 15th century, extended by two chapels, Gothic to the north and Baroque to the south, and a Baroque tower of the first half of the 18th century.
