Formerly the monastery church of St. Barbara or the Augustinian church. Baroque building made of brick and iron sandstone; work started in 1656 and finished in 1664-1667. Altars (main altar of Averbode by P. Verbruggen, 1651) and confessionals in Baroque and Louis XVI style (the latter at the south entrance by Vasseur from Antwerp, 1798).
