St. Paul’s Church is a feast for the eyes, both inside and out. An impressive example of Gothic architecture crowned with an elaborate Baroque spire, the magnificent church building contains a treasure trove of Baroque art.

Upon entering through the grand wooden double doors, you will be greeted by endless rows of elegant Corinthian pillars, each featuring a statue of a saint. Walk towards the altar, taking in the ornate carvings covering the wood panelling, the choir stalls and even the confession booths, which all carry the grandeur of Baroque sculpture. Vivid paintings grace the walls, most notably a series of painting depicting the fifteen mysteries of the rosary painted by ten artists including the masters Reubens, Jordaens and Van Dyck. The altar at the end of the aisle will leave you awestruck. Angels and saints, carved from white marble, gather around the altar which features a moving painting depicting Christ being taken down from the cross.

A small courtyard outside the church features a life-size scene of Cavalry. Statues of important Christian figures line the path leading to a depiction of Christ’s last days, topped by a sculpture of Jesus languishing on the Cross. With more than 60 statues leading you down the path to Cavalry, this haunting courtyard truly immerses you in Christ’s anguish during His last days on Earth.
