Notre-Dame Church, officially called "Our Lady of Grace" was built by the Jesuits in the 16th century. The neo-Gothic church was built in 1877 under the direction of architects Jules Bilmeyer and Joseph Van Riel and consecrated in 1882. The two beautiful slender towers were added later. Today, the church is mainly visited by the Polish community.
The earliest mentions of a Saint George chapel, date from 1201. But the chapel wasn’t consecrated before 1304. Destroyed by the French at the end of the 18th century, the church was rebuilt in its neo-Gothic style in 1853.
The Saint-Jacques church was built between 1491 and 1656, in the style of Brabant Gothic with a strong influence and Renaissance decorations. It was planned that this building would become the largest Gothic church in the world, however, the church was only partially completed. As a result of the 1944 bombing, the church lost most of its original stained glass windows.
The Parish Church of the Holy Spirit is a neo-Romanesque basilica from 1927-1931. Damaged during the WWII, it was repaired in 1944-1947 and 1956.
