Tips
The Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk is the parish church of Beigem. The current church was rebuilt in natural stone in 1924-1925 after the original single-aisled church burned down in 1914. Only the western tower from 1653 was spared in this fire. During the reconstruction, the church was built as a three-aisled house of worship with a transept, choir and the old western tower. The modern stained glass windows from 1948 are creations of Lou Asperslag. Bluestone tombstones from the 17th to 19th centuries can be found on the choir side.
