St. Mary's Royal Church, Catholic parish church in Schaerbeek, Belgium.
The Saint Mary's Royal Church features an octagonal structure with eight supporting pillars and six chapels surrounding a circular nave of 25 meters diameter.
Construction of the church extended from 1845 to 1888, with multiple architects taking charge after the death of original designer Louis van Overstraeten in 1849.
The church interior displays stained glass windows created by Jean-Baptiste Capronnier, reflecting the artistic excellence of nineteenth-century Belgian craftsmanship.
The church building stands at Place de la Reine and visitors can access it through the Botanique metro station on lines 2 and 6.
The structure combines neo-Romanesque, neo-Gothic, Byzantine, and Roman architectural elements, creating a distinctive design in the Brussels landscape.
