Neo-Gothic church of Saint Bavo built in 1922-24 with miraculous statue of Our Lady
Westrozebeke is mostly known for the Battle of Roosebeke (1382), where the Flemish suffered a crushing defeat against the French. According to legend a red wire around the village has protected the inhabitants from the war. This wire was secured in seven places. These days the seven little chapels of the Procession still refer to those places. Ever since this battle, Our Lady of Roosebeke has been widely idolized.
Little is known about the construction history of the church, but it is presumed that there already was a little stone church in Westrozebeke as early as the 12th century. In 1566 part of the church was damaged during the Iconoclastic Fury. Around 1740 it was decided to pull down the contemporary church and replace it by a new building. It is this new church that was completely destroyed during World War I. The current church is a reconstruction built in the 1920s.
