Between 1662 and 1667, the Holy Cross Church or Beguinage Church was built by order of Anna Bax. She was the mistress of the beguinage. The church is dedicated to the Holy Cross and built with baroque and gothic style features. During the French Revolution it was transformed into a Temple of Reason. Restoration works were carried out in 1978. UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.

In the spring, wood anemones decorate the small park in front of the church.
