In the capital of Wallonia (the French speaking southern part of Belgium) you can find this amazing interior in Flemish baroque style of the Saint-Lupus Church (Église Saint-Loup).

It is one of the most important Baroque churches in Belgium and was built by the Jesuits between 1621 and 1645. Initially it was called Saint Ignatius Church (église Saint-Ignace), and served the adjacent Jesuit college. Today, this church is also used for concerts in addition to worship services.

After their arrival in the 17th century, the Jesuits took over a small college which they enlarged. Afterwards they built a church adjacent to this college, which was dedicated to Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuit order. Pieter Huyssens (° Bruges, 1577, † Bruges, 6-6-1637), a Flemish Jesuit, architect and Baroque master, designed this church. Nevertheless, he did not live to see its completion: even at the start of the construction works, there appeared to be insufficient funds for immediate completion. Although the rector of the college regularly called for donations, the activities slowed down: they were forced to be spread over the period from 1621 to 1641. The architect himself died earlier: in 1637. After the completion of the church, it was finally consacrated.

Sent to work for the French State in Oceania, Agostini stopped in the Marquesas Islands in late November 1894 just before arriving in Tahiti, where he stayed until 1898.

Confessionals in Saint-Michael's church (dutch/flemish: Sint-Michielskerk) in Leuven, Belgium are a beautiful example of flemish/brabantine baroque woodsculpting.

In 1650 the Jesuit order in Leuven decided to build a new church for their monastery in Leuven. For this purpose they appealed to their colleague Willem Hesius (1601-1690), who at that time was director of the Latin Sodality in Brussels and confessor of Archduke Leopold-Willem, the governor of the Spanish Netherlands. The church in Leuven is his first important architectural project. His other projects include the plans for the Jesuit College of Ghent and the design for the main altar of St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen. The pulpit, confessionals and communion rails were aligned with the general concept of the church.
