The Sint-Martinuskerk in Haringe is a historic parish church dating back to the 11th-12th century. The church has a rich history and has undergone several fires and renovations. The current church is a late Gothic brick hall church with a crossing tower made of iron sandstone. The interior contains baroque elements, including paintings, statues and an impressive organ from 1778. The church is an important cultural heritage and still hosts summer organ concerts.

The church was originally dependent on the Abbey of Saint Augustine in Terwaan. A Romanesque church building was probably erected after the fire of 1071. It was a basilical cruciform church. The crossing tower of the current church is a remnant of this building.

There was also a church fire in 1123 and 1297. The church was rebuilt around 1304. After the Iconoclasm, the church was again radically rebuilt, from 1591-1600. This is how a brick late Gothic church was created. The crossing tower was also raised with a bell floor. A sacristy was added in 1853.
