Description

According to excavations in 1985, there has already been a smaller church on the same site. The first written mention of the church, probably still a wooden place of worship at the time, dates from 1146, when the bishop of Tournai donated the altar of the church to the Tournai St. Martin's Abbey, which also holds the patronage. The most important tithe lifters are the Chapter of Our Lady of Kortrijk, the St. Martin's Abbey of Tournai and the Chapel of St. Catherine. The church was located on the lordship of Kuurne, a fief of the count's court of Kortrijk. Later, the wooden church was replaced by a stone church in Romanesque style, probably in the second half of the 12th century. Near the stone church was also a walled cemetery. The original walled cemetery disappeared around 1958.
