Kapellekerk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Église de la Chapelle (French) or Kapellekerk (Dutch) is a church situated in the Marollen/Marolles district of Brussels, Belgium. It was founded in 1134 by Godfrey I of Leuven near what were then the town ramparts, and the present structure dates from the 13th century. Part of the structure was damaged by the French during the bombardment of Brussels in 1695 as part of the War of the Grand Alliance. It was restored in 1866 and again in 1989.
It contains work by Jerome Duquesnoy the Younger and Lucas Faydherbe.
