The parish church of Sint-Anna is located west of the original village square. Around the church of Sint-Anna-Pede there used to be a cemetery, still visible on the Ferraris map (circa 1770-1778). Today the church is located on a plot of land higher than the street, hedged (hawthorn hedge) and grass, bordered by lime trees. The church can be reached from the north and south via a cobblestone path, which was constructed during the restoration in the 1960s. To the south of the church is the so-called Breugelbank, erected in 1969 after a design by artist Pieter Van der Heyden (Buizingen), in memory of the Breugel year, commissioned by the Flemish Tourist Association and the municipal council of Itterbeek. This church owes its fame to the painting "The Parable of the Blind" (Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte of Naples) by Pieter Breugel (1520?-1569), in which it is depicted.

The foundation of the Sint-Annakerkje in Sint-Anna-Pede is situated around 1250. This is based on a deed from the Beguinage of Brussels. This refers to “apud Pede juxta nova capella” (“to Pede at the new chapel”). From this one can deduce that there must have been some kind of chapel at this location in the past.[1]

The nave of the church was built in the 16th century. In the 17th century, the church was renovated in Gothic style, with the construction of a cross rib vault.

The church and its surroundings were protected in 1948.
