The parish church, in the neo-Gothic style typical of the late 19th century, was built between 1865 and 1869 to a design by architect Auguste Quinet. The church is 77 meters long and crowned by a 65-meter-high bell tower. Inside, there are beautifully carved pinnacles, stained-glass windows, and, above all, a monumental organ, which was designated a protected monument in 2009 but has since been destroyed. The building also plays an important historical role. Besides its exceptional heritage value, the church bears witness to a different era. It was built at the initiative of Basile Parent, one of the pioneers of the Belgian railways.

In the church, near the choir, stands a white marble monument (photo 5), created in 1872 by the Antwerp sculptor Jacob de Braekeleer. The monument depicts the bust of Basile Parent, placed on a column, surrounded by an angel crowning him with a laurel and an allegory of Sorrow. In the background, a steam locomotive refers to the entrepreneur's activities. Although the church was damaged during the two world wars, several old stained-glass windows can still be seen.
