The Church of our Lady of the Chapel was a please to visit in Brussels. It was founded in 1134, making it one of the oldest in the city. It is a wonderful example of changes. It started as a Romanesque building and was converted to the Gothic style on the 1300s. It was renovated several times afterword, but the most important was the conversion to a Baroque chapel in the 17th century. It isn’t as extravagant as some of the other churches in the area, but it is an especially beautiful Chapel that is historically significant and well worth the visit. Easily accessible by public transport.

It's an impressive church with beautiful baroque elements. We experience a charming chorus singing Christmas Songs.

Beautiful church both inside and out. This church has less stained glass windows than others around the city but has a nice variety of paintings inside. Worth a visit!

A truly spectacular piece of Belgian history dating back to the 1100s. Stand in awe at the architecture and try and grasp how it must have been to build such a huge well appointed structure with the knowledge and tools of that period. Elegant yet simple. Beautiful yet humble.

The original church dates back to 1134 and was signed by Count Godfrey I of Louvain, in which he donated a chapel erected extra oppidum Bruxelli ("outside the fortified centre of Brussels") to the Benedictine monks of Abbey of the Holy Sepulcher of Cambrai. Nothing remains of the original chapel, which was probably under the choir of the current church, whose construction began around 1210. In 1405, a fire destroyed the church. In 1574, the church was ransacked by Calvinists who destroyed its furnishing. In 1695, part of the structure was damaged during the bombardment of Brussels by the French army. It was restored from 1699 to 1708. From that on it was rebuilt multiple times untill this version of the church was made in 1989. It is a beautiful building to look at. Especially with the snow.
