The Church of Our Lady in the Belgian city of Diest is a church building dedicated to Mary. The church is located near the beguinage and is for the most part built in iron sandstone.
On this spot stood a chapel that functioned as a castle chapel for the lords of Diest. These gentlemen stayed in a nearby castle on a hill, known in 2009 as the Warande. The chapel was first mentioned in 1211. Together with her possessions and tithes, it was donated to the abbey of Tongerlo by the then lord of Diest, Arnold IV, on the condition that the Premonstratensians from the abbey would serve the chapel. Her appointment as a parish church in 1253 and the growth of Diest made the chapel too small.
