Saint Waltrude Collegiate Church is a Catholic parish church in Belgium, named in honour of Saint Waltrude of Mons. The church is a notable example of Gothic architecture, and is protected by the heritage register of Wallonia. The history of the church dates back to 1450, when construction of the east end began. It was built for a female religious community as a collegiate church. Its chapter of canonesses remained in existence until the revolutionary period at the end of the 18th century. The canonesses were typically members of aristocratic houses. Originally it was possible to admit the daughters of chevaliers. The statutes, as approved by the Empress, were made stricter in the 18th century as regards the requirement for the canonesses to prove their noble status. More information...
