St. Peter's Church Kortessem
Highlight • Religious Site
Story
A church was first mentioned in the 11th century. A Romanesque nave was built between 1026 and 1038. The Romanesque west tower dates from the second half of the 12th century. An early Gothic choir and transept were added in 1270-1272.
In 1225 the church became a collegiate church.
The church has suffered a lot of violence. In 1468 it was sacked by the troops of Charles the Bold. In 1490 it was set on fire by the gangs of Jehannot-le-Bâtard. William of Orange's troops also caused destruction in 1568. Looting also occurred later, including by French troops.
The restoration took place in 1870-1875 under the direction of Herman Jaminé, during which the side aisles were enlarged in the neo-Romanesque style using old materials.

Historic Square Farmstead from 1641
Highlight • Historical Site
It was actually an L-shaped manor house surrounded by a moat. The northwest wing (the gatehouse) and the southwest wing are remnants of this. In the second half of the 19th century, two wings were added, and it became a square farmstead.
Remnants of the moat are still present. The complex still has 17th-century wall anchors, and above the gate is a facade stone with a coat of arms, the inscription "grata sideragnati", and the year 1641.
