Art Deco church designed in 1948 by the architect Jo De Bouver. Built in 'klinkaert' brick enhanced with bluestone and white stone, it is pierced with pointed-arched windows. A gabled front block, whose three upper windows are fronted by a statue of the Virgin and Child, houses the narthex; behind it rises the taller gable of the nave, crowned by a bell tower. The plan comprises a wide five-bay nave, narrow aisles and a polygonal choir; the building is recorded in the inventory but not protected.
