On the main square of Nivelles, you find the Collégiale Sainte-Gertrude which was completely renovated in 1984. This church and monastery has an inner garden with clocks as decoration. The chariot from 1450 is used to carry the steel coffin Sainte-Gertrude in the yearly procession. The oil painting from Frédéric Dumesnil is impressive and is located next to the steel coffin of Sainte-Gertrude which you can visit in the church.
Op de Grote Markt van Nijvel, vind je de Collégiale Sainte-Gertrude dat volledig werd gerenoveerd in 1984. De kerk en het klooster hebben een binnentuin die versiert is met klokken. De strijdwagen uit 1450 wordt nog gebruikt voor het vervoer van de stalen lijkkist van Sainte-Gertrude in de jaarlijkse processie. Het olie schilderij van Frédéric Dumesnil is indrukwekkend en hangt naast de plaats met de stalen lijkkist van de heilige die te bezoeken is vooraan in de kerk.
