| Saint Pierre Church – (Virginal - Ittre) |
 |
 |
 In the heart of this village you will find the Saint Pierre Church. A church like any other? Yes, except that it houses a remarkable organ produced by the famous manufacturer Van Peteghem. If you are inquisitive enough to enter you will find other rarities.The Saint Pierre Church of Ittre, with Romanesque foundations, was rebuilt in 1827 in the Neoclassical style. The preceding chapel dated from the 16th century. The building contains several rarities, such as an 18th-century painted wooden altar in rococo style, a large marble font with a brass cover dated 1623, a pulpit by Henri Peeters-Divoort and a Way of the Cross painted by Paul Stroobant in 1926. The very colourful semicircular stained glass windows produced at the former glassworks of neighbouring Fauquez provide an original touch. The church also houses a remarkable organ produced by the famous manufacturer Van Peteghem.
