    Die St. Gertrudskirche ist die Pfarrkirche von Heppeneert auf Heppeneert und ist der Gertrud von Nivelles verpflichtet . Der Seitenaltar rechts ist mit einer Gertrudis-Statue aus dem 16. Jahrhundert geschmückt.

    Vor 1202 muss Heppeneert eine Kirche gehabt haben, die der Gemeinde Neeroeteren unterstellt war . Ab 1567 kam das Patronatsgesetz zu den Crosiers von Maaseik . 1807 wurde Heppeneert der Gemeinde Maaseik unterstellt, und 1842 wurde Heppeneert wieder eine unabhängige Gemeinde.

    1871 begann Herman Jaminé mit dem Bau einer neuen Kirche im neoromanischen Stil . Dies wurde 1886 abgeschlossen. Die Kirche wurde 1892 und 1898 erweitert.

    The church of Heppeneert has been the center of the Heppeneert pilgrimage site since a statuette of the Virgin Mary originally located in the Chapel of Our Lady of Rest in Elen was housed there. In front of the church there is also a depiction of the Knight of Cards saga in the form of a fountain, there are buildings to burn candles, at the back there is a station of the cross and so on.
