Parsonage of the Sacred Heart Parish (in the Durmen district). Located deep in the back of the town house, it faces the church square, which was renovated in 2000-2001. This square, where the first Sacred Heart Church stood until 1975, is located to the right of the new church, consecrated in 1976. The parsonage was built during the construction of the old church, between 1888 and 1889, at the behest of Canon Adolf-Bernard Van der Moeren, but was only recognized as a parsonage after the official establishment of the Sacred Heart Parish on November 6, 1896.

The Sacred Heart Parish Church is a modern church built in 1975-1976 to replace the neo-Gothic church demolished in 1975. That old church was built in 1888 based on a design by architect Jan Haché (Ghent). The church was consecrated on September 17, 1888. By Royal Decree of November 6, 1896, Durmen was recognized as a parish. In 1899, the parish church was enlarged under the direction of architect Jan Haché. In May 1908, three stained-glass windows were installed in the choir, and in 1909, two stained-glass windows above the side altars were added, from the studio of Joseph Osterrath Jr. in Tilff, near Liège. The church was demolished in June 1975; the foundation stone of the new church was laid on June 27, 1975. The official consecration took place one year later, on July 4, 1976. At the end of 2006, a tower clock and a small carillon with twelve bells were added to the semi-detached campanile to the right of the church building. Source: Heritage Inventory

Chapel of Our Lady of Need, also known as Chapel of Our Lady of Huyseke. As early as the 18th century, a small chapel was mentioned on the site of the current Marian Chapel, destroyed under French rule around 1798. The current chapel was built in 1830, reportedly during a cholera epidemic, and dedicated to Our Lady of Need. On September 8, 1837, the Guild of Our Lady was founded to ensure the chapel's continued maintenance. It was thoroughly restored in 1903 and repainted, among other things, by Karel Pilaet from Hamme. It was again renovated in April 1994. Above the entrance are three white banners with the inscriptions: "In your needs," "call upon Mary," and "O.L.V. Ter Nood b.v.o." The date 1830 is inscribed at the top of the gable. Inside, a statue of Our Lady and Child is placed on a console above the altar. On the simple altar with the initials "A M" on the altar front are statues of the Sacred Heart and Saint Theresa or Saint Rita. Source: Heritage Inventory
