The original church was burned down in 1636 by Jan van Weert's troops. It wasn't rebuilt until the late 17th century, preserving the old flint tower and probably part of the walls. In 1857, the decision was made to build a new church, designed by L. Jaminé (Hasselt), and consecrated in 1878. It stands on the same site as the old church, but the latter was oriented in the opposite direction, while the new church's facade faces the street. Three-quarters of the church is surrounded by a walled cemetery.

Herkenrode Abbey already owned property in Opheers in 1218; this is also the oldest mention of the farm; its foundation dates back to the late 17th or early 18th century. Over the centuries, the abbey acquired considerable land in Opheers; it was one of its most important agricultural operations. Its location at this location is likely related to the presence of a spring that feeds the so-called Wetterdelle, which flows into the Oostherk. The farm is located opposite the church. The oldest buildings date from 1639 (dated on the facade stone of the house) and were built by Abbess Barbara van Hinisdael; they are the house and a now-detached service building behind the house. The large tithe barn dates from the 18th century. The gatehouse and the adjoining stable appear to date from the late 18th or the first half of the 19th century.

Saint Evermarus is venerated in three places in Europe: in Borth, in Burtscheid near Aachen, and in Rutten, a small municipality belonging to Tongeren in Belgium. According to legend, Evermarus and his seven companions were slain here by the robber chief Hacco. This is said to have happened around the year 700, and his remains were discovered around 960. A small chapel was built on the site. Every year on May 1st, the patron saint's festival of Saint Evermarus is celebrated in Rutten. After a procession through the town, the so-called Martyrs' Play takes place, during which local actors reenact the story of the saint's life and death.

The current tower was rebuilt in 1580 and 1734, extended by a nave and a choir from the sixteenth century and partially restored in 1898 by the Liège architect Hubert Froment

Opposite the church is a large, square farmhouse with a 16th-century core. It was formerly the lord's residence. The farm's courtyard is trapezoidal in shape.

The castle of Otrange, which belonged to the de Liberts, the Lords of Otrange, at the end of the Old Regime, suffered at the hands of Republican troops, who stayed there several times and built a hospital there in 1794. The castle remained unoccupied until at least 1792 and 1835. The descendants of Berthold-Louis de Libert sold the property at the beginning of the 19th century to the Grisard family, Liège industrialists active in the iron trade and cannon manufacture. It passed to the widow of Servais Grisard, née Jeanne-Hélène-Victoire Grisar, who bequeathed it to her nephew, Pierre Alexandre de Blochouse (1773-1849), the mayor of Otrange. He was married to Marie-Josèphe Magnée de Hornes (de Bommershov). Then came his son, Marcel Alexandre (Liège 1797 - Grammont 1853), who had married Adélaide du Bois of Basècles, who died in Ixelles in 1880 but was buried in Otrange. On July 20, 1874, the widow Marcel-Alexandre de Blochouse and her children transferred the property by family agreement to Émile Henri Naveau, husband of Louise Demarteau, who died in Otrange in 1907. The château passed by inheritance to Caroline Naveau, daughter of Émile, who married Nicolas Breuls; then to her daughter Juliette Breuls, wife of Knight Georges de Schaetzen; and finally to the latter's son, Knight Jean de Schaetzen van Brienen (died 2007), who married Sabine de Neve de Roden, the current occupant of the castle.
