    The title "in Snow" has to do with a Marian apparition that is said to have occurred in the fourth century, which would have caused snow to fall in August.

    The current church dates from 1784. Like many churches, it also suffered war damage (during WWI), which was repaired in 1920. Several smaller and larger restorations followed, the last in 1993 and 1996.

    Colorful stained glass windows determine the atmosphere of the interior.

    The Church of Our Lady of the Snow in the East Flemish municipality of Destelbergen is dedicated to Mary. The title ter Sneeuw refers to a Marian apparition that is said to have occurred in the fourth century, during the pontificate of Pope Liberius, which is said to have caused snow to fall in August.

    In the 10th century, there is already a mention of a church building in Destelbergen. The current church from 1784 is the work of pastor Servranckx (1702-1792), religious of the Saint Peter's Abbey in Ghent.
