St Willibrordus, Hulst

Local nameSint-Willibrordusbasiliek
LocationHulst, Netherlands

St Willibrordus is a basilica located in the center of the fortress city of Hulst in the east of Zeelandic Flanders, The Netherlands. The church is dedicated to the missionary St. Willibrord, often called the apostle of the Benelux countries. Though the nave dates from the 13th to 15th centuries, the central tower was destroyed several times, most recently in World War II. The current tower's modern appearance dates from the 1950s.

The church contains the painting The Good Samaritan by Jan Baptist Maes from Ghent. The scenes of the Way of the Cross were painted by Jan Jozef Deloose from Sint-Niklaas. The frames are by the Ghent sculptor P. Pauwels.
