Best Church in belgium

Y	Yasser Ashfaq on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ is a neoclassical Roman Catholic church located on the historic Place Royale/Koningsplein in central Brussels, Belgium. The medieval abbey church that originally stood on this location was demolished by command of Charles Alexander of Lorraine, Governor of the Austrian Netherlands, during his expansive urban planning projects, despite having escaped the great fire of 1731 that destroyed the nearby Coudenberg Palace. The new church was built in line with Rue Montagne de la Cour/Hofberg on its present location. During the French Revolution, the abbey was suspended and the church was made into a Temple of Reason, and then later into a Temple of Law. The church was returned to Catholic control in 1802. On 21 July 1831, Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha took the oath that made him H.M. Leopold I, the first King of the Belgians, on the front steps of the church. The church's interior and facade have been protected through royal decree since 2 December 1959.
J	James H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Situated next to the Royal Palace, the church would worth a visit while in Brussels.
C	Cosmin Oance on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Imposing building next to the courthouse. The interior is a bit bland, nothing breathtaking or special. The proximity to the museum of fine arts and the palace gardens make it worthwhile.
N	Neil Bailey on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stop by and head in if you are in the area, but if you can only go to one cathedral go to Cathédrale des Sts Michel et Gudule. However there is some impressive artwork inside so it is worth the visit
B	BradJill on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Saint Jacques-sur-Coudenberg is a neo-classical church at the Grand Palace in Brussels. The church was built in the 1730s and features a nice columned portico, tiled pediment and dome. There is a impressive equestrian statue in front of the church as well. The church is basically across the street from the Royal Museums of Fine Arts and can be seen before or after your visit to the museum complex.
G	Gianfranco Garcia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This church is tall, peaceful and quiet. It is close to Brussels park. Don't miss it. It looks like you can not come in but is is open. Come and cool down before heading to the palace or the park. Enjoy!

m	macedonboy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Saint-Jacques on the Coudenberg is a church at the eastern end of Place Royale and dominates the square on higher ground and the monumental size compare to the other buildings in the square. Like virtually all the squares in the building, the church is built in the Neoclassical style especially evident by the portico of the building which has hexastyle columns, topped with a pediment with scenes with the adoration of the infant Christ. The exterior is definitely much beautiful than the interior though. Inside, the church is pretty bland and painted white everywhere. There's not much in the way of stained glass windows or chapels as would be expected in a church occupying such a prominent location. There are two fantastic paintings on either end of the transepts, "Venite ad me" and "Cosummatum est" which are worth seeing. The exterior is defintely much beautiful than the interior though.
