The church houses one of the largest organs in West Flanders. The bell tower museum is located in the church tower. 75 bells and 2 carillons are located on the 12 floors.
The 65-metre-high tower is one of the characteristic elements in the cityscape of Roeselare.

The church was built between 1497 and 1504, after the previous one was completely reduced to ashes in the great city fire of 1488.
At the back of the church is the mausoleum of Jan van Kleef, knight and governor of the lordship of Wijnendale at the end of the 15th century, and his wife, Johanna van Lichtervelde.
