Oriented cruciform church with built-in west tower north of the choir. The building history dates back to the 15th<\/sup>\u00a0century. The church expands dramatically in the 18th<\/sup>, 19th<\/sup>\u00a0and 20th<\/sup>\u00a0centuries. After the almost total destruction in the 2nd World War the church was rebuilt between 1947 and 1950 to the pre-war plan by architect H. Huygh. The church has a wealth of Baroque furniture: the St. Bartholomew portico altar of Paschier (1645), the side altars by W. Kerrickx and W. Pompe (early 18th<\/sup>\u00a0century), the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0century panelling, the confessionals and communion rails by Cornelis Struyf (1734). From the pulpit by Jan Pieter Van Baurscheit (1725) only the medallions are preserved. In the 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century the church is enriched with stained glass windows of, among others, A. Stalin (1914) and J. Huet (1939).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
