The church of Mariekerke is one of my favorite places to relax. It is not only very picturesque and authentic, but also incredibly quiet. A place like you will find very few in Flanders.

The Church of Our Lady is located on the eastern Scheldt dike and therefore has a strikingly eccentric location in the old fishing village of Mariekerke. The first church dated from the 13th century. During the reconquest of the southern Netherlands by the Spanish, the church burned down. It was rebuilt by Jeanne L'Escuyer, widow of Pedro Coloma, lord of Bornem.

The former church, rebuilt after a fire in 1632, was almost completely destroyed together with its furniture during the First World War (1914); only the tower with its remarkable position next to the choir has been preserved and, according to some literature sources, was used as a former fortress tower until the twelfth century (see Romanesque substructure); partly renewed in the 15th century and restored in 1632; the substructure of the choir is also still late Romanesque. During the reconstruction in 1925, the ship was lengthened by approximately 6 meters.
