The Church:
Herzeele is a village in the heart of Flanders, which displays a large number of cultural venues for such a small village. His church is one of 30 hallekerque, ie a large church in Flanders. This term comes into effect from the Flemish "hall" which means "hall" and "Kerk" which means church. The hallekerque are large churches formed by 3 large parallel halls.
A Herzeele, the church called Our Lady of the Assumption was built in beige brick in the 17th century and is rich in religious objects, paintings and stained glass of high quality. Thus, the church Herzeele has 3 magnificent altarpieces: an altar built in 1741 in polychrome wood and dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption altarpiece north built in 1738 and showing the Sacred Heart, an altarpiece in the south developed in 1739 representing Saint Anthony.
The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption also contains a beautiful pulpit carved by Peter Van Brouckhorst in 1765. Its windows are also color the life of Jesus. The colorful stained-glass windows dazzle the eyes while letting light dense in the church. In 1895, an architect named Cockempot hallekerque adds to the tower to the west.
