The Church of St. Clement (French: Église Saint-Clément; Dutch: Sint-Clemenskerk) is a Roman Catholic church in the municipality of Watermael-Boitsfort in Brussels, Belgium. It is one of the earliest examples of Romanesque architecture in Belgium, dating from the 11th century.^[1]

History[edit]

The oldest parts of the church, the nave and bell tower, date from the 11th century.^[1] Various architectural features were added to the church when it was restored in 1871, during which work a number of historic tombstones were recovered.^[1]

The municipality's second church, the Church of St. Philomena, was built in 1826.^[1]
