Zillebeke - Sint-Catharinakerk

Zillebeke - Sint-Catharinakerk
St. Catherine's Church is the parish church. A single-nave chapel was founded in 1102. In the 14th century, the chapel was converted into a Gothic church. In 1578, the church was severely damaged by the iconoclastic Calvinists. Tte church was repaired. In 1910, the tower was restored. During the First World War, the church was completely destroyed. In 1923, the church was rebuilt. This design was based on the original church, but with the addition of a bay.

The baptismal font in Zillebeke originates from Tournai and was made in the 13th century. Unlike most other baptismal fonts made in Tournai, it does not feature a narrative motif but rather a stylized floral ornamentation.
