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.

Today, parts of the castle are rented out as a venue for corporate events, seminars, parties, and more. Extensive work has been carried out for this purpose over the past quarter century. Mr. Marc Van Honsebrouck, who died last year at the age of 89, had lived in the castle with his family since 1986, and had already commissioned renovations around the turn of the century. But disaster struck shortly afterward. On September 20, 2001, at 1:45 a.m., a fire broke out. Fortunately, Mr. Marc and his family managed to escape, but the entire left wing, both the ground floor and the upper floor, was completely destroyed. Although the fire department arrived very quickly, many priceless works of art were lost in the fire. The building itself suffered greatly, but the skill of the firefighters managed to stop the all-consuming flames. The grief over this terrible event was palpable far beyond the castle grounds. In 2012, Mr. Marc Van Honsebrouk decided to take over the castle's entire care and bought out his brother, who had been co-owner until then. His plan was to breathe new life into the castle, which had only been made wind- and watertight after the fire. The result of the past few years is the magnificent halls that shine again.
