Church founded as a parish church in 1250, the date at which work was probably started. Behind a flat facade without a bell tower, three naves of six bays, with a non-projecting pseudo-transept and a choir, flanked by rectangular chapels and ending in a seven-sided apse. Building of quartzite from Overlaar (but mouldings and details of Gobertange lime sandstone); desired simple architectural composition; built in two campaigns; naves and transept from the second half of the 13th century; choir and chapels (?) from the first half of the 14th century.
