    Hiking

    On the cozy Sint-Katelijneplein, you'll discover a place where history and city life effortlessly blend. Where the imposing Sint-Katelijne Church stands today, there was once a 15th-century church. It made way for the current building, but the charming baroque tower from 1629 was preserved and now stands there distinctively beside it.

    The church itself was built between 1854 and 1874, designed by Joseph Poelaert and his student Wynand Janssens. The result? A surprising mix of styles in a place that was once partly water: this is where the old Sint-Katelijne dock was located, connected to the Willebroek Canal.

    The Church of St. Catherine in Brussels dates back to a chapel dating back to 1201. After the construction of the second city wall, it developed into a three-aisled Gothic church, built in the 14th and 15th centuries.
    After being plundered, it was closed in 1581 but reopened in 1585. It received a Baroque choir (from 1629) and a bell tower (from 1664).
    After a restoration in the 1780s, the church was closed by the French administration in 1798, reopened in 1799, and elevated to a parish church in 1803.
