The church in the charming and rural town of Mespelare was classified as a monument in 1942. It houses a carillon with 21 bells. The church's lordship post was erected in the second half of the 18th century by the Antwerp Goubau family.
The church of Mespelare consists essentially of a house of worship (nave and choir) that probably dates from the last quarter of the 12th century. This Romanesque St. Aldegondis Church has been relatively well preserved, despite the various renovations it has undergone over the years.
