"Eerste vermelding van een kerk te Veerle in het vierde kwart van de 13de eeuw, onder andere in 1289 en in 1295 bij de overdracht van Veerle aan de abdij van Averbode. Na brand in 1488 vanaf 1505 heropgebouwd met hergebruik van de materialen. Interieur vernieuwd in de 18de eeuw. Kerk door brand vernield in 1910.
De optie om een grotere nieuwe kerk te bouwen werd geweigerd, de
compromisoplossing omvatte het behoud van de toren en de heropbouw van het koor meer naar het oosten. Werken uitgevoerd in 1916-1921 naar ontwerp van J. Taeymans, toren naar ontwerp van dezelfde architect volledig hersteld in 1933.
Recente restauratiewerken aan de toren in 1996-1997 naar ontwerp van Archiles architectenbureau en architect R. Verspreeuwen."
