Its earliest records of history date back to 1298 where in a manuscript of landrights it was mentioned as "Den Leepel Straet."

In 1612, a little church was created in the attic of a farmhouse that was kept from the knowledge of authorities because Roman Catholicism was forbidden at that time.

Even though this situation changed later in the 17th century, it existed until 1875 when Lepelstraat got its first real church, with a tower having a height of 68 metres.

This tower was blown up near the end of World War II by retreating German troops and has never been rebuilt.

The water did not reach Lepelstraat itself, making it a safe haven for refugees who lost their homes, friends, and families.
