    The Church of Our Lady in Aarschot is a typical example of Demer Gothic, a regional variant of Brabant High Gothic, e.g. a ferrous, dark brown sandstone is used. The extravagant rood screen (15th century), the choir stalls (1515) carved with satirical scenes and the 5m wide painting of Christ in the winepress (1520-1530) deserve attention. The oldest organ in Belgium, built by Jan Bremser in 1646, also stands on the rood screen. We were very fortunate to meet the cantor who not only showed us around but also played the organ. Unforgettable.

      The Church of Our Lady in Aarschot is a church built of brown iron sandstone. The church is an example of Demer Gothic, a regional variant of Brabantine High Gothic.

      On November 11, 2018, to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War, a peace carillon with 51 bells was installed in the tower. It consists of two historic bells by Sergeys from Leuven and 49 new bells by the Eijsbouts Bell Foundry in Asten.
