The Our Lady Visitation church of Lissewege was built in the middle of the 13th century in Early Gothic style. The choir, the side choirs and the transept are from the second quarter of the thirteenth century; the nave and the tower were erected in the second half of the 13th century.

The church is much bigger than one would expect for a little town like Lissewege - this would have something to do with the devotion of a miraculous statue of Mary that is still to this day being carried around during the yearly event called the Ommegang (roughly translated as “the walk around”), and also because of Lissewege being a stopover for pilgrims on their way to Compostela.
