    The parish of Our Lady was probably founded in the 9th century. There was supposed to have been a wooden church, but it was not until around 1100 that a stone, Romanesque church was built. The tower of this church has been preserved and, contrary to earlier estimates, it was built in the first half of the 12th century.
    Around 1580, the church, which had been further expanded into a three-aisled basilica church, was destroyed during the religious wars.
    Between 1622 and 1642, the church was completely restored.
    In 1676, the church received a relic of Saint Godelieve of Gistel, and in 1757 a group of statues of Saint Godelieve with the executioners was made by Pieter Van Walleghem.
    In 1909-1910, the church was expanded on the west side. The tower was classified in 1906. In 1914 a neo-Gothic main choir was built. Around 1913 a procession was added around the church, concerning Sint-Godelieve.
