Construction of this church began in 1879 and it was consecrated in 1880. The larger church became necessary because the population had increased greatly due to the textile industry in the south. The west tower was completed shortly before 1890.

The church is built in brick with limestone frames designed by Paul Auguste Castermans. The style of this three-aisled basilical church is neo-Romanesque. The entrance portal has a tympanum that has a more neo-Gothic appearance. The church has a three-sided choir enclosure.

Saint-Jean-Sart is a small village of just 500 inhabitants in the Herve country, above the Berwinne valley with the Val Dieu abbey. It lies in the province of Liège and the municipality of Aubel, which can be found just a few kilometers to the east. The place is traversed by the small stream with the pretty name Bel, which flows into the Berwinne at Val Dieu. The church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, which is mighty for such a small town, is enthroned in the center of the town. The history of Saint-Jean-Sart is closely linked to that of the Val Dieu monastery.
