L’Église de la rue Belliard was a Brussels-based evangelical Protestant congregation, started in 1837 when a group left the Temple de l'Observatoire Protestant church.L’Église de la rue Belliard originally met on rue du Jeu de paume under pastor Denis Lourde-Laplace, then on 24 rue Ducale under the ministry of pastor Edouard Panchaud (1839–1862). In 1851 the congregation built an Evangelical Chapel on 13 rue Belliard in the new Leopold quarter in Brussels.Over the years L’Église de la rue Belliard and the Temple de l'Observatoire divided and rejoined several times before finally reuniting in 1973 to become L’Église Protestante Bruxelles-Botanique.The church building on rue Belliard was sold in 1974 and a new building on boulevard Bisschoffsheim dedicated in 1977.Succession of pastors at L’Église de la rue BelliardDenis LOURDE-LAPLACE 1837-1839Edouard PANCHAUD 1839-1862Clément de FAYE 1863-1876Félix DUCASSE 1876-1879Léonard ANET 1879-1880Charles BYSE 1880-1882Rodolphe MEYHOFFER 1882-1917Henri MERLE D’AUBIGNE 1887-1892Jean MEYHOFFER 1917-1927Jules PERREGOUX 1924-1927Daniel LEMAIRE 1928-1933Emile HOYOIS (B) 1933-1935Robert DU PASQUIER 1935-1946Fritz HOYOIS 1942-1945André CLERC 1945-1957Denise PICCARD 1952-1954Denise WOHLWERTH (assistant) 1954-1955Martin BEUKENHORST (assistant) 1954-1955Maurice RAYMOND (assistant) 1954-1955Victor PHILDIUS (assistant) 1954-1955Rodolphe GILLY 1957-1964Jean-Claude BORDIER 1960-1969Pierre REGARD 1964-1972
