Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Hemelvaartkerk, Parish church in Zottegem, Belgium.

The church features Gothic architecture with a three-nave layout, incorporating multiple altars and detailed stained glass windows throughout the structure.

Construction of the church began in 1350, evolving from a Romanesque basilica into a Gothic structure with architectural elements added during subsequent centuries.

The stained glass windows in the choir, created by Jean-Baptiste Bethune, display detailed scenes depicting the life of the Virgin Mary and saints.

The church maintains regular religious services and contains four altars, three of which were crafted by Leopold Blanchaert following Bethune's designs.

The southern transept houses a notable alliance arm donated by the Casier de ter Beke family, marking their contributions to the church's development.
