Peter Paul Rubens produced some paintings for the church and also contributed to the façade, the tower, and much of the interior. The painting above the altar that you see on the last photo has an mechanism which makes it possible to change the painting. Depending on the period the most appropriate of the 4 altar paintings is on display.
