Neo-Gothic building from the second half of the 19th century. Some war graves in the cemetery behind it, which offers beautiful views of the lower landscape (as the name suggests, Ransberg is higher).

In 1419, noblewoman Elisabeth Van Ransberghe, widow of knight Geldolphus de Pere, had a spacious chapel built on the mountain to have mass said daily for herself, her deceased husband and their blood relatives. She obtained from the bishop of Liège and from the pastor and lord of Neerlinter that a chaplain could be appointed who would remain connected to the chapel. To this end, the noblewoman donated her house and sufficient goods to provide this priest with all the necessities of life. The chapel was dedicated to Our Lady and it received many visitors, especially when several ‘excellent’ miracles occurred, as was officially confirmed on 9 February 1629 by the mayor and aldermen of the village. Through the intercession of the Mother of God Mary, a crippled woman was able to return, a stillborn child was brought back to life and a deceased child was also brought back to life. The chapel was upgraded to the parish church of Our Lady of the Rosary of Ransberg in 1823. The current neo-Gothic building dates from around 1885 and was built after the original church burned down.
