During the First Coalition War in 1793 the French set the church on fire because they lost their front line, which also ran through Ypres.
The church suffered damage during bombing in the First and Second World War.
So on June 12, 1915, the church burnt down after being shot.
During the renovation works, the prewar original tower was taken into account as much as possible.
The current hall church has been built in neo-Gothic style.
