The foundation stone of this triangular, neo-Gothic church in red karel stone took place on May 29, 1856, a design by priest-architect Clarysse. She was ordained on June 28, 1858 by Mgr. Delebecque, Bishop of Ghent. Initially, the church furniture (pulpit, confessional and communion rail) from the old church were used. The Stations of the Cross were installed in 1869, eleven years after the completion of the church.

On July 20, 2022, lightning struck the church tower during a thunderstorm, damaging part of the roof and the electrical installation. Since then, the hands of the clock have stopped for the time being and the bells have stopped ringing.
