Inside the church are two rows of columns on moulded bases, the corbels of whose capitals are ornamented with foliage. The nerves of the vaulting are plaster.
CHURCH OF ST. CATHERINE,
seen from the Rue Royale.
In the northern aisle is a painting by Rubens: The Martyrdom of St. Catherine, dating from about 1622; in the Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes, on the left of the choir in a small niche, is a statuette of Our Lady of the Seven Afflictions, given by Philippe le Bon, in 1450, to the collegiate of St. Peter. In the Chapel of the Sacred Heart, to the right of the choir, is a small 15th century funeral monument in a niche. The carved stalls ornamented with statues are also noteworthy.
After visiting the church return to the Rue Royale; at Nos. 1 and 3, curious 17th century houses.
At the end of the Rue Royale, take the Rue Esquermoise (which is the continuation, and which contains 18th century houses at Nos. 83 and 101), as far as the Grande Place.
