The Sint-Laurentiuskerk dates in its current form from 1719-1725. The church was destroyed by a major fire in 1719, but the interior was largely spared. Inside, the beautiful rococo pulpit with the main motif ‘Jesus among the teachers in the Temple’ (1736) by the Mechelen sculptor Theodoor Verhagen and the ‘Grote Confessional’ (ca. 1700) in the northern transept are particularly worth a visit.

Did you know that the striking tower is called the pepper pot? At 66.2 metres high, the pepper pot is also the highest viewpoint over Lokeren.
In 1956, a carillon with 49 bells was installed in this tower. The heaviest, the Boudewijnklok, weighs no less than 3660 kg. In the golden jubilee year of 2006, a Keyboard 200 keyboard was installed for the first time in Belgium. Every Wednesday morning, virtuoso city carillon player Tom Van Peer gives a concert.
