It is a pseudo-basilica church with a built-in west tower. The west facade and the tower are made of sandstone and in late Gothic style. Extensions of the nave and aisles are partly made of brick and were executed in neoclassical style.
The church has several 17th-century paintings, such as Golgotha, Adoration of the Shepherds and Resurrection (both around 1600 and from the school of Otto Venius), Risen Christ and the Penitent Sinners (17th-century altarpiece in the St. Anne's choir), Preparation for the Flagellation of Christ (around 1635, by Quellinus). Furthermore, various 17th-century statues of saints.

High on the south facade of the tower, a sundial can be seen. This was certainly the case at the end of the 19th century.
During the restoration of the church in the 1990s, the original was replaced by a worthless copy (as we read in Astrolemma, the inventory of 218 sundials in East Flanders).
In 2000, on the occasion of Open Monument Day, this copy was completely restored.
