On the site where the Flemish count Robrecht de Fries is said to have founded a place of worship in 1073, a Romanesque church was built in the 12th-13th century, dedicated to Saint Peter. At the end of the 15th and the first half of the 16th century, it was converted into a Gothic hall church. When the tower burned down in 1638, a new tower was added in 1868. During the First World War, the church was completely destroyed, like the city itself. Only the vaults of the church were spared.
