    This church is in the heart of the village.

      Church in which several works of art by Flemish painters can be seen.

      Many relics from the village's rich past stand or hang in the 15th-century parish church. The mausoleum of Badelin and his wife, for example, and (a copy of) the 'Bladelin triptych' by Rogier Van der Weyden: a triptych with Joseph and Mary in the centre with the newborn Jesus Christ, Emperor Augustus on the left who hears the news of the birth, and the three wise men on the right.


      In addition to Mary, Rogier Van der Weyden painted a kneeling Pïeter Bladelin, dressed completely in black. It was Bladelin who commissioned the Flemish master to make this altarpiece. For the original work, you have to go to the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, but the copy by Jan Ryckx van Brugge is also 400 years old and has become a historical relic.
