Zelk has never been an independent municipality. Zelk has existed as a parish for centuries. The oldest document of the church in Zelk dates from 1424. The wooden chapel dedicated to Saint Pancratius, where the church now stands, was demolished in 1780. The prior of the "Carthuysers en Zeelhem" laid the foundation stone for the current church in 1781. This classicist hall church consists of a single-nave chapel in brick with decorative elements in natural stone, a semi-recessed square western tower, a straight, enclosed choir with a sacristy behind it. Two side chapels were added in 1938-1939. The entire complex is surrounded by a walled cemetery.

Memorial for Deportees. This memorial was dedicated to the mother of Simon Gronowski, a lawyer and humanist. She placed her son, then 11 years old, a little further up the steps of the train car. His jump was the stepping stone to freedom and life. She continued her journey with her daughter until their deaths in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Historical interpretation of the major event: The 20th (XXth) train convoy took place in April 1943. The transport consisted of 1,630 Jewish prisoners from Camp Mechelen in Belgium. They were being transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Three young Belgian men forced the transport between Boortmeerbeek and Haacht to stop. 231 deportees managed to escape, of whom 115 remained on the run, 90 were recaptured, and 26 were shot during their escape. This was the largest operation to rescue Jews from a train to Auschwitz.
