Historic Ruins

RUÏNES VAN DE SINT-JAN-DE-DOPERKERK VAN DIEST

The choir of St. John the Baptist Church was built of ironstone in the 13th century. Remains today the ruin. This parish church was during the religious troubles on the end of the 16th century set on fire. Because the parish counted very few parishioners, was then only the chorus part restored. So the Church remained in use until 1823. Some time later collapsed the roof above the choir.
