Fully the "Collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Ascension". The current church has a nave and aisles from the 15th century, while the choir dates from the first half of the 14th century. The Chapel of Our Lady was built in 1542, on behalf of the abbey. The original tower was built between 1504 and 1556; in 1668 this tower collapsed, and the bell tower was installed above the crossing; the current tower was built between 1847 and 1852 by Roelandt, according to a design by architect I.J. Gerard; When this tower was erected, the church was shortened by one bay.First repair of the church in 1702; thorough restoration between 1848 and 1864: the two stair turrets next to the tower, the Gothic ornaments on the outside, and the tracery of the windows date from this period. The portals date from 1878. In 1912, the original sacristy was replaced by the current, smaller sacristy, designed by architect E. Dehennin. Last restoration in 1970-1972 under the supervision of architect P. Van Mechelen.
