Description
St. Michael's Church in Waulsort has retained almost all of its original 11th-century structure and appearance.

The 4-bay nave features semicircular arches. The chevet is rectilinear. The Baroque basket-handle door with its protruding harps is dated 1711. The roof is slate.
The interior features an 18th-century ceiling and furnishings, 15th-century stalls, a baptismal font and 15th-century funerary steles.
