The chapel of Saint Basil is one of the best preserved churches in Romanesque style of West-Flanders.
Built from 1134 to 1149, the chapel is dedicated to St. Basil the Great of whom a relic was brought back by Count Robert II from Caesarea Mazaca in Cappadocia, Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey).

The chapel consists of two side naves and a central nave continued by the choir, which in turn is ended by a semi-circular apse.
In the tympanum above the entrance linking the chapel and the annex is a 12th-century representation of the baptism of Saint Basil.
In the right nave, the seated Madonna and Child (Sedes Sapientiae) is a wooden polychrome sculpture of the early 14th century.
Carried each year during the procession, two venerated wooden statues, made around 1900 and representing Jesus on the Cold Stone and the Pieta are displayed.

At the left of the choir, the chapel of Saint Yves was added in 1504 and houses the relics of Saint Basil and of Blessed Charles the Good, Count of Flanders.
The black marble retable is allegedly executed from designs by Lancelot Blondeel.
