Review:
The Chapel of Saint Basil was built in the first part of the 12th century and is the only Romanesque-style church in West Flanders. Derrick, Count of Alsace, designed the church and dedicated it to Saint Basil the Great. The chapel is broken up into two sections, the Upper Chapel and the Lower Chapel. Each chapel contains a wealth of ancient relics dating back to between the 12th and 17th centuries. There is a wooden polychrome sculpture of a seated Madonna and Child, two magnificent wooden statues representing Pieta and Jesus on the Cold Stone, stained glass windows, a white marble alter with the Holy Cross, and various historical wall paintings.
