    Queen Louise-Marie, wife of King Leopold I, had expressed her wish to be buried in Laeken. After the Queen's death in 1850, a competition was held to build a new church. The award-winning design was created by architect Joseph Poelaert. It is a neo-Gothic building with a royal chapel and a crypt behind the choir. The church was inaugurated in 1872, but was not completed until 1907. In 1904 the old village church was demolished. Only the Gothic choir was spared and can still be seen in the cemetery, behind the current church. Source: Monarchie.be
