Uccle

Uccle is a municipality within Brussels-Capital Region that blends residential neighborhoods with green spaces, parks, and wooded zones throughout its layout. The area combines urban development with natural elements, creating distinct pockets of homes, streets, and vegetation.

Settlement began around Saint Peter's Church, consecrated by Pope Leo III in 803, establishing the community's origins. Over centuries, the area gradually developed into a residential part of Brussels.

The municipality operates in both French and Dutch, reflecting Brussels's bilingual identity in everyday life and local affairs. This dual language presence shapes how the community interacts and organizes its shared spaces.

The town hall serves residents and visitors from Monday through Friday during standard business hours. As a primarily residential area, it works well for those exploring quieter parts of Brussels at their own pace.

The Royal Observatory operates here, maintaining long-standing records of the nation's weather and pursuing astronomical studies. Its historic facilities make it a significant scientific center for the entire country.
