Pour répondre au souhait du marquis de Gastañaga, qualifié de Gouverneur de Belgique (Pays-Bas espagnols), la Chapelle Royale fut érigée en 1690 avec le voeu, non réalisé, de voir naître un héritier au roi Charles II d'Espagne, comme l'indique l'inscription latine figurant sur le tympan du fronton triangulaire. Cette imposante coupole de style baroque, au plan quadrilobé, est le dernier monument belge de l'époque espagnole. Une nef, qui constituera le bâtiment de l'église, sera ajoutée au XIXe siècle. La flèche du clocher ne sera placée qu'en 1899.
