Cathédrale Saint-Aubain Namur

The Cathédrale Saint-Aubain in Namur is the most important religious building of the city and the diocese. The late baroque cathedral was built between 1751 and 1772 to a design by the Italian architect Gaetano Pizzoni, giving it an exceptional character in Belgium. The cathedral is known for its great dome, its marble altar, and its collection of religious artworks, including works by Jacques Du Broeucq.

Accessibility is partial. The main entrance at the front has several steps without a ramp, but on the side there is an adapted entrance with a ramp that gives access to the nave. Inside, the nave is level and spacious, with rest benches along the side aisles. The choir and some side chapels lie slightly higher and are reached by steps. Adapted toilets are available in the adjoining diocese building and in some nearby hospitality venues.

The cathedral stands on the Place Saint-Aubain, close to the Parliament of Wallonia and the provincial museum of old art (Musée des Arts Anciens du Namurois). Disabled parking spaces are available in the underground Hôtel de Ville car park. The cathedral is free to enter; a small contribution is requested for the Treasury with its relics.
