Saint Peter and Paul Church

The tower of the original church was dynamited in October 1918 and destroyed part of the nave in its fall. The church was rebuilt in 1924 in Ypres style. The centerpiece in the church is the tomb monument of Jacob de Thiennes (died in 1534), lord of Rumbeke, and his wife Katharina van Oignies (died in 1545). Additionally, there is a Romanesque baptismal font in white stone (circa 12th century), a carved oak communion rail (1734), a pulpit (1630), several paintings, and the remarkable prayer bench of the count of Rumbeke. Saint Blaise is honored there around his name day (February 3).
