Great Mosque of Brussels, Islamic mosque in European Quarter, Brussels, Belgium
The Great Mosque of Brussels contains ornate geometric patterns, calligraphy inscriptions, and a central dome that follows traditional Islamic architectural principles.
This building underwent transformation from an exhibition pavilion constructed in 1897 to become the primary Islamic religious center of Brussels in 1978.
The mosque functions as an educational center where visitors learn about Islamic traditions through guided tours, lectures, and religious ceremonies.
Located at Parc du Cinquantenaire 14, the mosque welcomes visitors who must remove shoes and dress modestly before entering the prayer halls.
The mosque management transferred from Saudi Arabian control to the Muslim Executive of Belgium in 2023, marking a shift toward local representation.
