People often talk about the polder churches with their flat towers as a triumvirate, referring to three churches that have such a tower: Oosterke, Damme and Lissewege. The church of St. Anna Ter Muyden is often wrongly "forgotten". It is quite possible that the church tower of Oostkerke used to serve as a lighthouse for skippers, given its location on the Zwin estuary, but this has not yet been proven with certainty. The cemetery is said to contain a number of exceptional gravestones from the 14th and 15th centuries.

The Sint-Kwintenskerk with its sturdy, flat tower is the landmark of Oostkerke. Around the year 1100 there was already a Romanesque church here. In 1159, the remains of Saint Guthago were placed here in a reliquary by the bishop of Tournai, after miracles had taken place at his tomb. Saint Guthago was a king's son who chose to live as a pilgrim in Flanders. He was buried in Oostkerke
