Built in several phases: the oldest parts, particularly the tower and nave, date from the 15th century; an extension with a choir in the 16th century; construction of the northern transept arm in 1778 and the southern transept arm in 1785, presumably in conjunction with the embellishment of the choir.
Temporarily closed during the French occupation (September 1797 - May 1800). Design for restoration and expansion works by E. Careels from 1906; tender issued in 1910: addition of neo-Gothic aisles in 1910-1915.
Severely damaged in 1940: the tower and the pointed gable to its right were almost completely destroyed, but were restored shortly thereafter to a design by F. Blockx and J. Heylen. Artistic stained-glass windows were restored to a design by O. Calders in 1946-1948.
