    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.

    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...
