★ ★ ★ ★ ★ At the time of my visit I could only see the outside, but it’s an interesting place to visit for sure. The architecture is quite beautiful. There are also other neat attractions right by it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Notre Dame de la Chapelle (free entry) is one of several large Gothic style churches that can visited around the city centre of Brussels. It is located at Place de la Chapelle, a 6-7 minute walk south of the Grote Markt and is open for visitation from 10am to 6pm daily.
The church history dates back to the 12th century when its location was outside the the city walls. Originally Romanesque in style, the church was given its predominately Barbantine Gothic architecture in the 15th century. In addition to the attractive Gothic features, there is a nice Baroque style bell tower that was added after the French bombardment in 1695.
Fans of fine art will find an interesting statue of Pieter Brueghel the Elder outside Notre Dame de la Chapelle, you can also see a memorial plaque to the Flemish Old Master in one of the right hand side chapels inside the church as well.
The interior of the church is quite similar to nearby Notre Dame du Sablon in scale and appearance. There seem to be more fresco paintings but less stained-glass windows here. We particularly enjoyed the ornately carved wooden pulpit amongst other interesting things to see within the church.
Overall, Notre Dame de la Chapelle is another good church visit in Brussels for anyone with an appreciation or interest in historic buildings, architecture and history. Its worth 15-20 minutes at least enjoying the interior and exterior of the church.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Quite small and humble church, but very important to fans of Bruegel and art lovers. Peter Bruegel the Elder got married there and he was also buried there after his death. Till the end of the 2020 there is a some kind of interactive exhibition "The great escape" so, visitors can find in sudden corners of the church figures from the Brueghels paintings.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the historic Brussels’ churches built 800 years ago for the neighborhood of workers (tanners, etc.). It is full of great pieces of art. Famous painter Pieter Bruegel is buried there. I would say one of musts in Brussels.
