Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes Church
Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes church was built in 1949 in a modern Romanesque style. The church owes its name to the nearby Lourdes de Jette grotto, the object of many pilgrimages, particularly during the First World War. The chapel of the cave quickly became too small and the construction of a larger church was considered and then built a few hundred meters from the chapel. The church was designed by the Christian architect Chrétien Veraart and is built in brick with concrete elements. The church is now also home to a Ukrainian Greek-Catholic community, whose patron saint is Saint Volodymyr.
