Notre-Dame-des-Grâces Church

The priory of Val Duchesse was a convent of Dominican nuns from the 13th century. It was founded in 1262 by the Duchess Adelaide of Burgundy with the religious community of Val Duchesse. Closed by the revolutionary power in 1796, what remained of it passed into private hands in the 19th century before becoming the property of the Belgian State in 1930. Today, the priory and its grounds are often used for important national or international meetings and colloquia.

The church of Saint-Jean Berchmans is a neo-Romanesque religious building which is part of the large complex of the Collège Saint-Michel. Built from 1908 to 1912, the church is dedicated to Saint John Berchmans, a young Belgian Jesuit, who was canonized in 1888. The architect Joseph Prémont was inspired by the Rhineland Romanesque basilica Saint-Servais in Maastricht (18th century). The façade is an apse flanked by two towers. Two Romanesque portals open on either side of the false apse. The liturgical and pastoral services are provided by Jesuit fathers.

The construction of Notre-Dame du Sacré-Coeur church was requested by the neighbourhood's residents and built from 1925 to 1928 by architect Édmond Serneels. Designed in a neo-Romanesque style, the proportions were changed during the second phase of construction; due to lack of money, the length of the building was reduced.
