It was built in brick and white stone in the 18th century (main part dating from 1768). It is built in a balanced neoclassical style, which also nicely disguises that it was enlarged around 1860, after the disappearance of the church of Wez. Inside, we see the Adoration of the Magi, copy according to J. Gossart (XVIIth century), the Lamentation of Christ, ... The furniture of some taste is in regency, Louis XV and Louis XVI (porch, pulpit, confessional). The Gothic fonts were made of blue stone.

Hiking

From this location, you actually have a view of the church. The church itself and the unique cemetery can be found a little further along Rue de Bossut (which intersects Rue de Hamme-Mille here), opposite the 'Zeebroeck Castle' – see komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/7679340

The church itself, with description, photos, and the correct location, can be found at komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/4080868
