St. George's Church was founded in 1910, but due to the Balkan Wars (1913) and the First World War, it was not opened until 1930. The building serves as a mausoleum for the royal family, the Karađorđevići, whose tombs lie in the crypt. Its architecture is an imitation of Serbian medieval art.

The Church of St. George is an Orthodox church built between 1868 and 1870. As early as 1845, an Estonian Orthodox congregation was founded in Tartu, and it was under the leadership of the priest Joosep Shestakovski (1856-1888) that the construction of an Orthodox church began. The building was damaged during World War II and restored in 1945. Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow (Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church from 1990 to 2008) began his career there.

The Church of St. Gilles was built in an eclectic style from 1868 to 1878. The first church was built in Saint-Gilles, then called Obbrussel, as early as the 13th century. Destroyed in 1578 by the inhabitants to prevent it from being used by the Spanish troops who were besieging Brussels, a new church was consecrated in 1600. Remodelled several times, the church was eventually destroyed in order to build a larger one in 1868, as the suburb of Saint-Gilles was experiencing a strong demographic growth. The plans for this new building were entrusted to town planner Victor Besme.

The church of St. Jacob is first mentioned in 1334. The church was rebuilt between 1794 and 1796 with the help of the parish. The remaining walls and ceiling were whitewashed, thus hiding the remains of some frescoes that could not be restored. The floors of the worship space were covered with marble slabs. In 1979 two new bells were installed, which were electrified in 1985. In 1991, all the exterior plaster of the church was removed and a new one was made, which was then repainted.

The Church of St. James was founded for German and Flemish settlers in the early 13th century. Originally a Romanesque church, it was rebuilt into a Gothic church (14th-16th centuries) and later reorganized in a neo-Gothic style (1870-1878). In 2001, an underground ossuary (the second biggest one in Europe) was discovered and is now open to the public.
