The church's Gothic west tower dates from 1432 and is built of Tournai stone. The church building was demolished in 1777, after which a larger church was built. On July 17, 1911, a fire broke out in this church, prompting the construction of a new church in 1912-1913, designed by P. Clerbaux.
It is a neo-Gothic brick structure, a basilica cruciform church with an integrated west tower in Gothic style.

The neo-Gothic St. Anthony the Hermit Church (with an integrated Gothic west tower) in Pottes was built in 1912-1913 to a design by P. Clerbaux. It replaced the late 18th-century church that burned down completely on July 17, 1911.
That church also had a predecessor, built in 1432 and demolished in 1777.
The patron saint, St. Anthony the Hermit or St. Anthony of Egypt (Heracleopolis Magna, Egypt, 251 – Colzimberg, Egypt, 356) was a Christian saint known as the father of monasticism.
