This remarkable building dates from 1050 is surrounded by an ancient cemetery and has an age-old lime tree in front. This is the oldest of all Roman churches in Belgium and the only church to have preserved its dedicatory stone commemorating the consecration of the church on June 20th 1050. It houses the commemorative stone with the Perpetual Edict and armorial bearings of Philippe II, as well as the blazons of Luxemburg and the city. Church windows, realised by Jean-Michel Folon, remind of the martyr of Saint-Etienne, patron of the parish. An audiovisual presentation shows the testimony of the artist on the manufacturing of church windows, as well as some commentaries on the major pieces of the church's heritage.
