Neo-Gothic church, officially "L'église paroissiale de l'Immaculée Conception", was built between 1904 and 1906 on the grounds of the Sint-Roch park. The Antwerp architect Govaerts was inspired by the Capuchin Church of Izegem, which he had built shortly before. (The Izegem church has now been demolished - in 2022)

Initially work progressed slowly due to the rocky nature of the terrain. The rocks extracted from the ground were cut into blocks and integrated into the construction. This method gave the church an almost 'fortress-like' appearance. The shell, in bluestone, was finished at the end of 1905 and the interior in 1906.

To give the church a softer impression, the Gothic repertoire was drawn upon and it was given many pointed arch windows.
