General information about St. Bavo's Church
The Sint-Bavokerk in Watou has a very nice interior , mainly from the 1800s . Highly recommended. May seem “lavish” to some people. This church hosts the International Gregorian Festival of Watou every two years. The last edition took place on 27/28 April 2024, so the next one will be in 2026. In the summer it is also one of the exhibition venues for the Arts Festival .
