Description

The current parish church was built in the 1830s in the Neoclassical style and consecrated in 1844.
It underwent restoration in 1979. However, this building replaced an earlier one from the late 17th century, which in turn likely replaced yet another, much older structure. The bell tower, located to the left of the current entrance, dates from 1694. It is a vast building with three naves, separated by massive cross-shaped pillars, with groin vaults throughout. The church has three neoclassical altarpieces. The one on the high altar, however, features Baroque-style statues. Perhaps a remnant of an older altarpiece? A granite holy water font, dating from 1678, bears the coat of arms of the De Loche family. It is listed as a Historic Monument.
