The Peperbus got its current shape in the years 1750-1752. In those years, the church was rebuilt as a result of the shelling of the city by the French in 1747. The shelling and siege by the French led to the fall of the Bergen op Zoom fortress. The Bergen op Zoom fortress, designed by Menno van Coehoorn, was considered impregnable before that. She was nicknamed: La Pucelle. The tower can be climbed and gives a beautiful view.

The St. Gertrude Church is a Roman Catholic church accessible from the Grote Markt in the center of Bergen op Zoom.
The tower of the church is also popularly known as 'De Peperbus'. An old legend tells about Saint Gertrude, abbess of the abbey in Nivelles, who founded the church in 654.

During Carnival, the tower, which is called the Peperbus, is completely dressed up.
The church belongs to the Lieve Vrouwe Parish and therefore has a relationship with the Holy Virgin. The church can be visited from Tuesday to Sunday from 13:00 to 16:30 (entrance Kerkstraat).
