Church of St. Catherine, Catholic parish church in Maritime Quarter, Brussels, Belgium
The Saint Catherine Church displays a mix of Gothic structure with Renaissance and Baroque elements, featuring a robust blue stone base and detailed elevations.
The current church, designed by architect Joseph Poelaert and built between 1854 and 1874, replaced an earlier structure established in the 15th century.
The interior contains valuable historical artifacts, including a 14th-century stone statue of the Black Madonna and a painted wooden statue of Saint Catherine.
The church is accessible through the Sainte-Catherine metro station, served by lines 1 and 5 of the Brussels metro system.
The building incorporates flying buttresses and lantern-capped niches that create varied light patterns throughout its interior spaces.
