Church of Our Lady of the Rich Clares
Church of Our Lady of the Rich Clares, Baroque church in Pentagon District, Brussels, Belgium
The Notre-Dame aux Riches Claires features a main nave with side aisles, adorned with baroque architectural elements and decorated vaults displaying religious motifs.
Construction of the church began in 1670 under architect Lucas Faydherbe, replacing a Gothic chapel that belonged to the Brothers of Common Life.
The church maintains its function as a Catholic place of worship while preserving historical features including white marble altars and 18th-century baptismal fonts.
Located at 23 Rue des Riches Claires, the church remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural heritage.
The church survived the 1695 bombardment of Brussels intact, while its convent buildings required complete reconstruction after the conflict.
