Unsere Liebe Frau der Geburt

The church has four altars with an altarpiece, three of which were realised by Leopold Blanchaert based on a design by Jean-Baptiste Bethune, the pioneer of neo-Gothic architecture in Flanders. The altarpiece above the main altar (1870) is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, patron saint of the church. The second altar (1873) is dedicated to St. Joseph and is in the side chapel on the north side of the choir. In 1881, in the northern transept, the altar retable dedicated to St. Cornelius, second pattern of the church, was placed. The fourth altar altar altarpiece (1900) in the southern transept is also dedicated to Mary and has a different style. It comes from the workshop of Pieter Pauwels.

The neo-Gothic reliquary of St. Cornelius, second patron saint of the church, was made in 1902 by Leopold Fierlefin in copper, burned silver, semi-precious stones and enamel and is in the St. Joseph's Chapel.

The Way of the Cross (1908) was made by Frans Coppejans in collaboration with the St Luke's Institute. The scenes are painted on canvas in shallow niches.

The stained-glass windows in the choir come from the studio of glazier Jean-Baptiste Bethune. Above the main altar are scenes from the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, on the right side of St. Cornelius and St. Valentinus. They were placed between 1870 and 1874. Most of the stained-glass windows were donated by the lords of the castle of Mariakerke.

The furniture was largely designed by architect August Van Assche. The pulpit and organ case were made in 1893-94 by Pieter Pauwels. The organ itself was built by the Pierre Scheyven house. The two confessionals in the transepts were made by Mathias Zens.

A beautiful alliance arm in the southern transept recalls the donation (1924) of the oak panelling by Baron and Baroness Casier de ter Beke - de la Kethulle de Ryhove. The seven contractions of Our Lady were painted by Frans Coppejans on copper plates.
