Schaerbeek, Administrative municipality in northern Brussels, Belgium.
Schaerbeek is a municipality in northern Brussels with densely packed residential neighborhoods spread across several kilometers. The area has a mixed urban character with apartment buildings, commercial streets, and local transport hubs.
The first documented mention dates to 1120 when it appeared in records from the Bishop of Cambrai under the name Scarenbecca. Over the centuries it transformed from a rural settlement into the urban municipality it is today.
The district today hosts strong communities from Turkey and Morocco who shape its daily character. You can see this influence in the shops, restaurants, and gathering places scattered throughout the streets.
Several tram lines and a train station connect the district to central Brussels and surrounding areas. The good transit connections make it straightforward to explore the neighborhood or travel to other parts of the city.
The Autrique House represents Victor Horta's first architectural work and displays early Art Nouveau elements. This building marks a turning point in the development of European architectural style.
