Located within the former moat (of the nearby keep ruin) and surrounded by the cemetery. Special: grave crosses from the 17th century have been built into the cemetery wall.

About the church:

Hall church with protruding western tower from 1649 with remains of the Romanesque substructure (12th century); rectangular nave of four bays, two western bays of 1769, two eastern bays with chancel (straight bay and flat choir closure) of 1850; south and north sacristies of 1938. Completely burnt down in 1965 (except sacristies) and immediately restored. Brick construction using bluestone for surrounds, corner blocks and plinth, in addition to marlstone for the cornice. inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/23072

Originally, there was a Romanesque castle chapel from 1171 here. The west tower dates from 1649 and still contains remains of the Romanesque substructure. The two western bays of this brick hall church were built in 1769 in a classicist style. The two eastern bays and the choir date from 1850. In 1938, sacristies were built both north and south of the church, and in 1937 side chapels were also built. In 1965, the church was largely destroyed, with the loss of a large part of the inventory. However, the building was restored immediately after the fire. The interior was renovated, including murals by R. van de Eycken. Of the works of art, a wooden Our Lady with Child from the 16th century and a wooden Crucifix from the 18th century remain. The church is dedicated to Saint Lawrence.
