The cathedral of Saints Archangels Michael and Gabriel

In 1623, Archduchess Isabella granted the order of Brigitte the right to settle in Brussels. In 1637, the Confrérie des Brigittines, originally from Dendermonde, bought a property on the site of the present rue des Brigittines. In 1663, they built a convent with a chapel, designed by the architect Léon Van Heil in the Italian-Flemish Renaissance style. During the bombardment of 1695, which reduced most of Brussels to ashes, the building suffered little damage. However, in 1784, Joseph II put an end to the religious vocation of the building. Disused as a religious monument from 1783 to 1920, the chapel was put up for public sale. The City of Brussels acquired it two years later and, thanks to a successful restoration, saved it from almost two centuries of setbacks and various uses. A contemporary extension to the chapel was inaugurated in 2007.

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.

The Church of Our Lady of the Chapel (Kapellekerk) was founded in the 12th century as a chapel of a Benedictine priory and was transformed into a church in the 13th century. Damaged by a fire in 1475, the church was rebuilt in Flamboyant Gothic and got its baroque tower at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. From 1989 to 1996, the church underwent major restoration work. Today the Chapel Church is the parish church of the Polish Catholic community in Brussels.
