Chapelle "Notre-Dame de Lourdes"
Highlight • Other
On Palm Sunday and on August 15th for the Feast of the Assumption, a procession passed through the village. It was led by the municipal band and followed by the clergy and faithful of Our Lady of Lourdes. They stopped there for the blessing of the palms and the presentation of the statue of the Virgin Mary.
This practice ended in the 1980s.

Saint Peter's Church
Highlight • Other
In the church, you can still see a bell from the Laurentius Monastery. The Beeldenstorm began here with the shattering of all the statues and furnishings of this monastery. No trace remains of the monastery itself, located a few kilometers from Steenvoorde. Only a place name, Gallicized to Saint-Laurent, now a rest stop along the Lille-Dunkirk motorway, remains as a reminder.
The church itself has a turbulent history. After falling victim to the Beeldenstorm in 1566, it burned down in 1576, was destroyed by the French in 1644, and was rebuilt in late Gothic style between 1660 and 1664. The tower dates from 1712, and the brick spire was built in 1890 and 1891. In May 1940, the church was again severely damaged. In 1950 it was restored.
