Neo-Gothic from 1886. Note the beautiful stained glass windows. Against the facade of the adjacent Sint-Amandus church, 7 small chapels have been built, each depicting one of the sorrows. Inside the church is a statue of a seated Mary, her body pierced by seven swords. Beneath her lies the body of Jesus on a catafalque.

Statue of the Sacred Heart from 1925. Devotion to the Sacred Heart is widespread in Flanders. The inscriptions "Sacred Heart of Jesus, King of our municipality", "Come to me all of you" and "Your kingdom come" are in line with what can be read on many statues erected between 1850 and 1950. After a feast day of the Sacred Heart (shortly after Pentecost) was made mandatory from Rome in the mid-19th century, Pope Pius XI, in the encyclical of May 8, 1928, called on Catholics to spread the cult of the Sacred Heart even more. He elevated the feast to a Catholic solemnity. Source: https://inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/themas/78

Ingelmunster artist Hein Denturck created this flame of over 2000 welded hearts in 2019. This was part of Studio Kontrabas, the festival that youth center Kontrabas set up as an action for the benefit of Studio Brussel's Warmste Week. In each heart, the name of the buyer is engraved.
