Collegiate Sts Pierre and Paul

Built on the Chimay Square, in the time of cathedrals, the collegiate church is certainly one of the most remarkable religious buildings in Hainaut Province. This limestone church has a 13th century Laonnois Gothic choir, a 15th century late Hainaut Gothic aisle extended by two chapels — Gothic to the north and Baroque to the south — and a Baroque tower from the first half of the 18th century. The choir is the oldest part of the church. Dated by archaeologists as being from the 13th century, along with a few remains of the Mediaeval wall, the oldest Chimay monument. Open visit (presentation sheet available at the entrance to the collegiate church) or with a comprehensive guide from the Chimay Tourist Office.
