As early as 1450, ancient writings mention a chapel in Grootlo. Like other religious buildings, this chapel suffered from the religious upheavals of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. In 1799, French soldiers destroyed a statue of Our Lady and the only bell. The chapel was restored in 1833. A few years later, the dilapidated tower was demolished and the rest of the roof repaired. Construction of the current church began in 1936.
(Municipality of Heist o/d Berg)

The Heilige Naam Jezuskerk is the parish church of the town of Grootlo, part of the Antwerp municipality of Heist-op-den-Berg, located on Kapelstraat 69...

Grootlo became an independent parish in 1906... The faithful initially attended church in the Oude Kapel... A permanent church was built in 1936 and consecrated in 1937...

It is a three-aisled church oriented to the northeast, built of brick and designed by Gustaaf Careels...
The church has an adjacent flat tower, covered by a tent roof... The building shows neo-Romanesque style elements...
