Onze Lieve Vrouw Onbevlekt Ontvangen

The current church was built in the years 1852-1856 to an early design by Carl Weber . The construction was made possible by a large financial contribution from Count Jean Baptiste Marchant d'Ansembourg, who in return received a count's chapel in the church reserved for his family and the right to be buried near the church. The new church replaced the old village church, which was dedicated to St. Gertrude. This church had existed since at least the 14th century.
