On the S.W. side of the Place is the Church of St. Walburga
(Rl. A, 2; recently restored), partly in the Romanesque style of the
12th cent., and partly in the Gothic style of the 14th and 45th, with
a very prominent transept. The well-proportioned square tower has
unfortunately been left unfinished. The interior contains paintings
by De Crayer and others, the tomb of Claude Talon, and a rich poly-
chrome reredos of the late Renaissance (first chapel on the N. side).
The church of Notre Dame de Pamele (P1.B, 2), 6-8 min. farther
to the S., on the other bank of the Scheldt, an interesting example
of the transition style of the 13th cent., with later additions and
an octagonal tower above the cross, has been successfully restored.
It contains two sarcophagus-monuments of 1504 and 1616.
