Église Agnus Dei

About

The Agnus Deikerk () is a former church building in the municipality of Plombières, Belgium.

History: Originally there was an estate of the count Bourcieu Montereux. In 1875 the Franciscans settled there, who had been expelled from Germany because of the Kulturkampf. In 1908 the sisters acquired the estate and in 1910 they founded a chapel dedicated to Antony of Padua. There was also a Catholic school with boarding school.

After World War I, the complex was converted into a home for older couples called De Gensterbloem. In 2002 the sisters left the monastery and the little church remained abandoned. Not much later, part of the complex was affected by fire. The church, then known as Agnus Deikerk, has since been abandoned and fell prey to decay, despite the presence of beautiful stained glass windows. The equestrian has already disappeared in 2021. The former residences also continued to decline.

Building: The church is a neogothic structure with three-sided choir closure, and was originally equipped with a pointed roof rider. Single stained glass windows:
