Saint-Servais church is a neo-gothic church built between 1871 and 1876. The construction was based on the plans of the architect Gustave Hansotte.

A Gothic church, whose choir is still visible in the cemetery, has existed in Laeken since the 13th century. The old church was destroyed in 1872-3 to make way for the new church of Our Lady of Laeken, which was commissioned by Leopold I to house the remains of his wife Queen Louise-Marie of Orléans. Since then, this splendid neo-gothic church has served as a necropolis for the Belgian royal family.
