St. Peter's Church

St. Job's Memorial Church was built by emigrants who fled the Russian revolution. They started to raise funds in 1928 and were able to lay the foundation stone on 2 February 1936. The architect-painter Nicolai Istselenov was assisted by a committee. The patron saint, St James, was chosen because his feast day, 19 May, coincides with the birthday of Tsar Nicholas II, to whose memory the church is dedicated. More generally, it was to commemorate the sufferings of the imperial family and the victims of the revolution.

The church of Saint-Augustin was built in 1935. The church is an example of Art Deco religious architecture in Belgium. The architects Léon Guiannotte and André Watteyne were commissioned to draw up the plans for the church. Most of the work was carried out in two years (1933-1935). In the 1980s, the building deteriorated badly, but thanks to the new interest in art deco in Brussels, the church escaped demolition (requested by the engineers of the Brussels metro) and was classified as a national heritage site in 1988.

The church of Saint-Denis is a religious building whose oldest foundations date back to the 11th century, around the time of the founding of the village of Forest. The present building, which includes the sanctuary dedicated to Saint Alène, dates from the 13th century and is in Gothic style. The bell tower was raised by two floors in the 18th century. In 1925-1926, an important restoration of the ensemble was carried out by Chrétien Veraart, restoring to the building a luminosity that it had lost.
