Neoclassical Catholic church with a late Baroque tower, built on the site where in the early Middle Ages, as part of the adjacent monastery (where the castle is now), a first church was built by order of Saint Amandus.
The church has been rebuilt several times. In 1566, iconoclasts marched through the church and destroyed almost everything that could be found. The church was rebuilt with the tower in the middle. However, that tower was demolished in 1739 for reasons still unknown. A new one was built at the front of the church. This is the current tower. The year the tower was built can still be seen. There is also a coat of arms and a clock on the tower.
The large doors of the church were made in 1678. This date can still be seen on the doors.
The great attention to "Our Lady of Sorrows" is striking: inside a representation of the 7 sorrows as so many swords piercing Mary's body; outside, around the church, seven chapels from 1919-1920, with a representation of the seven sorrows of Mary and on the edge of the market square a larger OLV-van-Sorrowen-chapel.
