The Church of Our Lady Help of Christians, also known simply as the Church of Our Lady, is a church in the Belgian town of Sint-Niklaas. Church dedicated to Our Lady, Help of Christians.
The church was built and put into use around the mid-19th century, between 1841 and 1844. However, it was completely completed only in 1896, when a six-meter-high, gilded statue of the Virgin Mary, designed by Jan Frans Van Havermaet, was erected, and a tower was placed at a height of approximately 50 meters. According to tradition, the then parish priest was impressed by the statue of Mary located on the tower of Notre-Dame de la Garde in Marseille.
