We took a few moments out from experiencing #walloniegourmande on a walking tour of #Namur to take a look at this stunning church - #EgliseStLoup It was originally built by the #Jesuits as an extension to the college they had founded. The church was dedicated to Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus. The architect, Pierre Huyssens is regarded as the master of Belgian baroque. Sadly, he did not see its completion, as funds ran out the construction, which started in 1620 lasted for over 20 years, with the church being finished in 1641. There are plenty of other things to see in Namur - and some excellent opportunities to sample some of the local cheeses, cured meats, beer, Jenever (Belgian gin) and more. I'll be writing more on the blog in the next few days. #travelblogger #instatbn #writetotravel #instapassport #postcardsfromtheworld #guardiantravelsnaps #ttot #tbin #travelblog #bbctravel #secretplaces #LoveBelgium #Wallonia
