St. Agatha's Church is one of the oldest religious monuments in the Dijle region. This early Gothic church owes its name, as does the village where it was built: Sint-Agatha-Rode.
Historical context:
A church was likely built here in the 11th century by the Count of Leuven, Godfrey I, when Sint-Agatha-Rode was founded. It was likely a Romanesque church building at that time. In 1140, Godfrey II transferred the church to the chapter of the collegiate St. Peter's Church in Leuven.
