The church of Saints John and Stephen the Minimes, known locally as the "Church of the Minimes", was first built in 1624, but it soon proved too small, so a new church was built from 1700 to 1715. The new church presents an architectural style of transition between Brabantine baroque and early classicism. During the French Revolution, the church was closed in 1796. It was not until the independence of Belgium (1830) that the church finally opened without interruption. Restoration work, directed by Tilman-François Suys and Pierre Victor Jamaer, was carried out at the end of the 19th century. The convent and cloister of the Minimes were demolished in 1920 to make way for the construction of the Athénée Robert Catteau.
