Built in the 11th century, this magnificent Romanesque church is one of the region's most venerable monuments. Restored in 1992, it is part of the major heritage of Wallonia. It can be visited all year round.

Saint-Pierre Church is a Catholic religious building located in Xhignesse (Hamoir), Belgium. Romanesque in style and built at the end of the 11th century, the church is listed as a major heritage of Wallonia.
The village of Xhignesse dates back to the end of the Merovingian period when the mayors of the palace gradually took power and established their own dynasty, that of the Pepins. They would pave the way for their great successor, Emperor Charlemagne, and for the Carolingian civilization that would permeate all of Western Europe at the turn of the 8th and 9th centuries.
