The St. Martin's Church dates from 1947-1950 and was built according to the model of the previous church, which burned down completely during WWII. After all, that church only stood there for 15 years: it was only completed in 1928, after the 17th century church had also been destroyed during WWI.
Going back even further in history: the church (originally from 1145) was also plundered and heavily damaged during the religious wars of the late 16th century.
In 1990, archaeological research was carried out in the church, which also uncovered twelve medieval graves.
The current church is located on a slight elevation and is surrounded by lime trees.
Around the church: an aisle consisting of 7 chapels with polychrome statues.

The Sint-Martinuskerk is the church of the Belgian village Werken, located at the Werkenplein. The church and the parish are named after Saint Martin. The church is located in the village centre on a hill, and is surrounded by lime trees. Around the church is a pilgrimage route with seven chapels, surrounded by a beech hedge. Nearby is the "Hogen Andjoen", a motte as a remnant of an early medieval settlement.
