Church of St. Gilles

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 Our Lady Immaculate is a neo-Romanesque church was built in 1854 for the Capuchin fathers who made it their parish. The church is a Catholic parish. In 1587, the Capuchin fathers settled in Brussels. They remained there for a little over two centuries. At the end of 1796, during the French revolutionary period, their convent was confiscated and publicly sold by the French as 'national property'. In the 19th century, in 1852, the Capuchins returned. They settled in the heart of the city, near the Place du Jeu de Balle, in the Marolles district.
