18th century church, on the site of a Romanesque church.

Saint Martin ("Saint Martin") lived in the fourth century. The legend surrounding him is that he donated half his cloak as alms to a beggar. The next night he is said to have seen Christ in a vision, with half of his mantle wrapped around him, addressing him, "What you have done for the least of my brethren, you have done to me"... the impetus for to go through life as a follower of Bishop Hilary of Poitiers (and, among other things, as an exorcist). He later became Bishop of Tours himself.
On November 11, the feast day of St. Martin, he is celebrated in some regions (including around Aalst) as a friend of children, similar to how Sinterklaas is celebrated in other regions.

Another fact:
The church of nearby Welden is also dedicated to the same Saint Martin.

The church has a single nave, built of brick, and has a built-in west tower.
