The Sint-Leonarduskerk in Zoutleeuw (Vlaams-Brabant), Belgium, was constructed between the 13th and 16th centuries, replacing a romanesque chapel from 1125. Built primarily in gothic style, the church features two towers connected by a gallery over the nave. Remarkably, it survived the Beeldenstorm and the French Revolution unscathed, preserving its rich collection of art treasures. Notable artworks include a Marianum (16th-century double-sided polychrome statue of Mary), a 1250 Madonna statue, a 1483 brass Paschal candlestick by Renier van Thienen, and a 1478 Leonardus altarpiece. The church's belfry is part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Belfries of Belgium and France.
