The parish church of St. John the Baptist, a neo-Gothic church, got its appearance after the renovation of 1908. The 15th-century tower and the church choir were integrated into the current construction. The church is surrounded by a ‘schom’, a ring wall within which inviolability applied until the French Revolution. In the old cemetery you can admire a few remarkable gravestones. The most striking is the burial vault that the Gilles de Pelichy family had built during their temporary stay in Poederlee. Against the choir is a Calvary, a gift from Baron Gilles de Pelichy.
