4.0National Basilica of the Sacred Heart(831 reviews) - An impressive building on Koekelberg Hill Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
The Koekelberg Basilica ranks fifth among the world's largest churches, after the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Paix in Yamoussokro on the Ivory Coast, St Peter's in Rome, St Paul's in London and Santa Maria Dei Fiori in Florence. Today, the church is in the first place a place of prayer for peace. The church is still used for celebrations of the parish or for big national celebrations. But the basilica is more than that. The basilica has also an important cultural function. It’s a magnificent Art Deco monument, there are two museums, there are yearly different expositions and you can enjoy a wonderful view over Brussels!See more..

The Church of the Holy Cross (‘Eglise Sainte-Croix’ and not ‘Eglise de la Sainte Croix’ as listed on Tripadvisor) occupies a lovely spot next to the ponds of Ixelles. An unstable terrain to build on! Its present-day exterior is the result of the transformation of the original mid-nineteenth century Gothic Revival church in the 1940s. When cracks started to appear in the walls architect Paul Rome encased the building in a brick and concrete Art Deco shell. Inside, the church is all pointed neo-Gothic vaults and arches but we spotted several marble and wood Art Nouveau confessionals and a marble Art Nouveau vestibule at the entrance towards rue Alphonse De Witte. Worth a quick look around.See more..
Worth a look in if in the area. The outside is lovely (if only it wasn't such a blustery day) and inside there are some interesting modern depictions of old religious art. It could do with a bit of TLC in places and it's clear some restoration has been done, but not all. It would be nice if there was a bit more information on offer to give more details about the history.See more..

La paroisse orthodoxe des saints Silouane et Martin située dans la commune de Saint-Gilles à Bruxelles dépend juridiquement du Patriarcat œcuménique de Constantinople. La langue liturgique est le français, bien que la manière de célébrer (typicon) ou l’ordo soit celui du Patriarcat. Notre métropolite est Mgr Athenagoras Peckstadt. La paroisse a en Belgique un rôle de pionnier pour l’orthodoxie francophone.See more..
