The Sint-Dimpna Church is a Gothic church in Geel. It is classified in terms of architectural style as part of the Demer Gothic. It is a cross basilica with a crossing tower and a heavy main tower.
The church is dedicated to Saint Dymphna, who, according to legend, was beheaded and buried here in 600: when one wrote 30 May six hundred years - St. Dymphna was beheaded here by her own father. It was a pilgrimage church, where healing was primarily sought for psychiatric patients. It is possible that the original core of Geel was located here, but this gradually moved to the current Market, where the Sint-Amandskerk is located, which serves as the oldest parish church of Geel.
