The building looks more like a large chapel than a church... and that is actually how it grew historically:

In 1821, a school was built on the Parochieveld. In 1884, a convent was built, where the Sisters of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows settled, and a school on Kruiskerkestraat. The original school continued to serve as a weaving school for some time. However, the residents had to go to Doomkerke to attend church. In 1932, however, a convent chapel was built, which was expanded in 1934.

In 1947, a parish was founded and the convent chapel was elevated to parish church. In 1970, the sisters left Kruiskerke. However, the school was expanded.
