The Sint-Germanuskerk was founded in the first half of the 12th century in the Romanesque style. However, the present appearance of the building owes much to the restorations and extensions carried out in the 15th and 16th centuries, such as the erection of the present central tower in 1555. Inside, the pipe organ, originally built in 1493, acquired its Baroque appearance between 1671 and 1673, when it was radically rebuilt by Jan Deeckens.
