Deurle - the Church

The Sint-Aldegondiskerk (the church of Saint Aldegondis) is right in the centre of the village of Deurle. On the other side of the street the vicarage has survived, and there is a very popular restaurant and tearoom, called "D'Ouwe Hoeve" (= the Old Farmhouse) facing the church. It is a picturesque village.

Back to the church: the oldest recordings tell us it originated in between 1039 and 1121. A walled churchyard surrounds the church, and you can walk up a path that follows this wall on the outside. The path is named after Cyriel Buysse, a famous writer.
