Antoinist Church of Forest

This church, consecrated to St. Anthony of Padua was completed in 1897. The Neo-Gothic style building was built in two stages.

The parish church of Sainte-Alène was built in different phases, from 1938 to 1972, by the architect Roger Bastin. The construction of the church was delayed due to the war, the many hesitations of the architects and the difficulty in raising the necessary funds. Almost completed in 1951, the church will be modified somewhat further. In 1972, Bastin decorated the façade, built from 1946 onwards, with a decorative metal motif. Inside, a set of semicircular arches is used in both the structures and the decoration. Today, the church is used by the Brazilian community.

The church of Saint-Augustin was built in 1935. The church is an example of Art Deco religious architecture in Belgium. The architects Léon Guiannotte and André Watteyne were commissioned to draw up the plans for the church. Most of the work was carried out in two years (1933-1935). In the 1980s, the building deteriorated badly, but thanks to the new interest in art deco in Brussels, the church escaped demolition (requested by the engineers of the Brussels metro) and was classified as a national heritage site in 1988.
