The origins of St. Martin's Church date back to a 12th-century chapel that depended on St. Peter's Church in Herne. In the course of the 13th century, somewhere between 1233 and 1266, Tollembeek became an independent parish with the abbey of Kamerijk as tithe collector...

The church probably dates from the 12th century, when Tollembeek became a separate parish. Before that time, the village belonged to the parish of Herne. This old parish church was used until 1870, after which it was renovated and rebuilt into a larger church. Contractor Léopold Devreux from Waterloo oversaw the execution of this construction. The church as it stands today was consecrated in 1873. The finishing inside the church was only completed later, in 1923.
