Originally the church was a chapel, built in the 15th century and dedicated to Our Lady of 7 Woes. At that time, Schoonaarde belonged to the Wichelen parish and the chapel was served by a chaplain, assistant pastor in Wichelen. Only during the winter months could the residents of Schoonaarde fulfill their Sunday duties here on site.

In 1830, permission was obtained from the municipality of Wichelen to enlarge the chapel. The church was officially inaugurated by the bishop on April 21, 1844.

In 1857 the tower, choir and sacristies of the current church were built. The original tower was demolished in 1964. After the high spire and top floor were demolished, it was not until 1980 that the remainder of the tower was finished with a new short spire.
