The Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame stands in Dinant, a town in Belgium's Namur province on the River Meuse. It is also known as the Collégiale Notre-Dame de Dinant, and its address is Place Reine Astrid, 5500 Dinant. The church is a Gothic building dating from the 13th century, and it is easy to recognise from the square by its distinctive onion-shaped bell tower.
What to see inside
Visitors often come for the church's stained glass windows, which are among the features that give the building its reputation. The interior rewards a slow walk, so allow time to look up as well as ahead.
A connection to music
The church is linked to Adolphe Sax, the instrument maker who was born in Dinant. That link gives a visit a local story to follow, and it sits comfortably alongside the town's wider character as a place on the Meuse.
The church is best treated as one stop in a visit to Dinant rather than the only reason to come. The town's riverside setting and its streets around the church make a pleasant place to spend a few hours.
