Chapel of the Resurrection, Brussels

Geschiedenis

The Chapel for Europe or the Chapel of the Resurrection is a Roman Catholic church with an ecumenical vocation located in the heart of the Brussels' European Quarter of Brussels, next to the former Convent Van Maerlant. A precursor of this church, which dated back to the 15th century, was situated in the city center, but demolished in the course of urban development in 1907. Instead, a replica, externally true to the original, was built at its present location. In 2001, after substantial renovation, the church received its present name and took on its present ecumenical character. The pastoral responsibility for the chapel has been entrusted to the Society of Jesus.
