The oldest parts of this early Gothic collegiate church date from the mid-13th century. The choir was replaced by a new one after 1300, with an ambulatory and side chapels. After the Battle of Westrozebeke (1382), the church was badly damaged and largely rebuilt. Other renovations took place in the 16th and 17th centuries and after the Second World War. The interior was built in a rich Baroque style in the 17th century, after the iconoclasm. On the south side is the Count's Chapel, built by Lodewijk van Male in 1370. The niches contain paintings of the former rulers of the County of Flanders. The church stood on the count's domain. In 1300, this place was occupied by French troops and fortified into a fortress. After the Bruges Matins, Flemish troops came to besiege the castle. On 11 July 1302, the conflict with France reached a peak. You can relive the story of the Battle of the Golden Spurs here in the permanent exhibition '1302: Uprising, Battle, Turning Point'. (Information board on site)

Belfry tower, located in the middle of the Market Square. On the southeastern side marked by the war memorial of the First World War. The belfry was part of the small or old hall. The hall building actually consisted of two parts: the belfry, called Halletoren or "het Halleke", and the cloth hall itself. After the commissioning of the Nieuwe or Grote Hallen in 1540, built by the Antwerp resident Pieter Theels on the current Schouwburgplein, it was only used for the retail of all kinds of goods during the Monday and annual markets. The current appearance of the Halletoren was mainly determined in 1520 with the reconstruction of the upper part and in 1899 with the demolition of the surrounding buildings.
