The Church of Our Lady of the Visitation (), also known as the Church of the Visitation of the Holy Virgin (), is a Catholic church and seat of a deanery in Rochefort, Belgium.
History The first church edifice dates back to 1041, making it the oldest building in the municipality of Behogne-Rochefort. The church burned during the offensive of the army of the Count of Duras in 1653; it was rebuilt and restored in 1782. The current building was designed by the Dutch architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar. The church was put into service on 24 May 1874 and inaugurated on 11 November of the same year by Théodore-Joseph Gravez, Bishop of Namur.
Architecture The church is built in the neo-Romanesque style with local limestone. The central façade, flanked by two towers, is decorated with a rose window and bears eight statues at its centre.
