Like so many churches in the Westhoek, this one was also plundered and destroyed during the First World War. On June 21-22, 1918, retreating Germans blew up the church.
From 1920 to 1924 the church was rebuilt according to the model of the original (Gothic) church; some parts of the current church are said to be 13th century.

Parish church dedicated to Saint Hadrian. Only West Flemish parish church with this patron saint. Oriented church rebuilt in the 1920s, surrounded by lime trees, lawns and shrubbery and pebbled paths.
