The church was built as an early Christian basilica with a rectangular floor plan. On the west side is the narthex with the slightly twisted square tower on the northeast corner and a Lady Chapel on the other corner. The semicircular apse is on the east side. The asymmetrical gable roofs on the high transepts are striking. In the extension of the south-east transept is the sacristy. (Wikipedia)

This church, the "Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-van-Lourdeskerk", is dedicated to the Mother of God MARY of Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people hoping for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has become widespread - not only in France - and Lourdes churches, chapels and grottos have been built by believers everywhere.
The ecclesiastical memorial day "Our Lady in Lourdes" is February 11th, this is the anniversary of the Apparition of the Virgin Mary (1858), when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI on December 8, 1933 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary).
The Day of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.
