The Church of Our Lady on the Market Square is the oldest of Temse's seven churches. Protected as a monument since 1983, it features a mix of architectural styles and is the result of centuries of construction and renovation. The church's foundation is attributed to Saint Amelberga, patron saint of Temse, around 770. Statues of her can be seen both inside and outside the church. Inside, you'll find various art treasures and curiosities, such as beautiful 18th-century wood carvings and the mausoleum of Roeland Lefèvre from 1517. He was the first secular lord of Temse. Some also call the Church of Our Lady the Nijs Museum, after the renowned family of artists from Temse who designed much of the interior. Adrianus Nijs's wife served as the model for Saint Amelberga in the pulpit.

The sculpture group "The Tuysscher and the Vinegar-Sure" is also by Valeer Peirsman. The sculptures refer to the nicknames of the people of Temse. In the Middle Ages, residents of Temse were derisively called "tuysschers," meaning gamblers or gamblers for big money. Around the 18th century, the nickname "azijnzeker" (vinegar-sure) originated. The name comes from the many vinegar breweries active in Temse at the time. It also refers to the dialect word "zeker" or "zeiker," which means sourpuss.

Before World War II, ships were loaded and unloaded at Wilfordkaai by men known in Temse as "kaailopers." Between loading and unloading, they passed the time by simply doing nothing. The term was also used for men who spent a lot of time on the quay. Some have lived on in our memories as legendary folk figures. Three figures in this sculpture group are based on real people. The fourth symbolizes all quay walkers. Valeer Peirsman completed this bronze artwork in 1991.
