Charles-Henri Stiennon, Ch.-s Stiennon - Belgian artist, 1851-1942 Rebecq, Belgium. The Saint-Gery church With two steps of the communal House, draws up the néo-Romance church Saint-Gery, much larger than the churches of the surroundings (the tower culminates to 56 m). It was built in 1867 by the provincial architect Emile Coulon to replace the old religious building which was located at the center of the place. This last dating from the 16th century was not enough any more broad to accommodate all the faithful ones. Inside, the total restoration of paintings of the walls and the colonnades was carried out with much taste and gives again with the building, by these lines, drawings and original colors, its aspect suitable for the 19th century. With the ceiling, one can admire the frescos of the painter Charles-Henri Stiennon illustrating the apocalypse (1875).
