St Amelberga Church

The church building, designed by Eugène Gife, dates from 1852. The design of the church is unusual in that the transepts do not protrude from the main body of the church. The pentagonal choir receives light through seven large windows. Although Wechelderzande was certainly not one of the wealthier villages in the Kempen when St Amelberga Church was built, the church does house many art treasures.

The 37-metre listed church tower is a true gem of simple Kempen Gothic architecture. It was probably erected at the end of the 15th century. The spire dates from 1674-1675.
