The current church was built according to a design by the Antwerp architect Jan Van den Eynde between 1664 and 1674. The girdle columns and the heavy sculpture on the portal are dated 1672, a sundial on the niche is dated 1670. On the north side is the heavy tower dated to 1700. The interior was thoroughly modified in the 18th century with the construction of several altars and the purchase of paintings.

The Abbey of Averbode is a unique historical site. A Premonstratensian community has been established here since 1134. The forecourt is impressive and the beautiful, reflecting pond makes for great photos at the right moments. The abbey church, an ideal place for reflection, offers a remarkable synthesis of Baroque and Gothic. Writer Ernest Claes found his final resting place in the beautiful abbey cemetery.
