The St. Peter's Church in Pellenberg is a Gothic church that originally dates back to the 13th century. It is built on the highest point in the area, making it visible from far away. The church has undergone several renovations over the centuries, with a notable reconstruction of the nave in the 18th century and restoration after damage during World War II. Inside, you will find a beautiful interior with historical elements, including baroque artworks and a 17th-century high altar.

Be sure to visit the cemetery. In addition to a few prosaic epitaphs, you will find quite a few grave monuments that seem to compete with each other. The one of the de Ryckman de Betz family is particularly impressive, with space for 20 deceased. The war monuments for the Second Antwerp Expedition (1914) and the political prisoners from the Second World War are also worth seeing. Nowadays, no one is buried there anymore.
