The Church of Berneau, built between 1846 and 1847 by Mr. Berleur of Verviers, is a neoclassical building made of brick and limestone, consisting of a square tower extended by a three-nave nave, ending in a flat-ended choir.
This building is best known for its listed organ, which you can admire from the nave, as access to it is difficult. This instrument, attributed to the Molinghen brothers, organ builders from Mortier, is the most important of their production and also one of the best designed. It dates from the mid-19th century. For organological, aesthetic and cultural reasons, this organ, which bears witness to the art of regional organ building, was listed in 1991.
A visit to the building will also allow you to admire an altarpiece from the second half of the 18th century, a confessional from the mid-18th century, a baptismal font dating from 1576 and many other treasures.
Practical information :
The church is open to visitors during opening hours (except during services).
Guided tours can be arranged on request.
There are a number of rest areas in the church (in the nave and choir).
