NL:

Op het bord wordt de geschiedenis van het Witte Kerkje uitgelegd. Op deze locatie was in de 11e eeuw een kapelletje, waarschijnlijk gewijd aan St. Heribert. Deze werd in de 12e eeuw uitgebreid tot een grote Romaanse kerk en vervolgens een koor en transept in Gotische stijl. Tijdens een verbouwing in 1820 is het westelijke deel van de kerk afgebroken en is alleen het koor overgebleven. Het kerkje is kenmerkend door de witte bepleistering.

ENG:

The history of the White Church is explained on the board. In the 11th century there was a chapel on this site, probably dedicated to St. Heribert. This was extended in the 12th century into a large Romanesque church and then a Gothic-style choir and transept. During a renovation in 1820, the western part of the church was demolished and only the choir remains. The church is characterized by the white plaster.
