Behind a long wall stands the pride of Saint-Marie...

The church of Sainte-Marie-Geest has Saint Peter as its patron saint, the Virgin Mary is only a secondary patron saint. For a long time, the parish priest of Sainte-Marie had to fight for his salary or his residence.
Although the church, according to Tarlier and Wauters, is very small and modest, it is of some archaeological interest. It consists of a single nave dating from different periods. The oldest part is the choir, which ends in a semicircular apse, the cornice of which rests on buttress pilasters between which, in groups of three, are placed arched arcades, some of which rest on consoles [with perfectly preserved human heads.
