Detail InformationEdit

The Church of St. John Berchmans (French: Saint Jean Berchmans, Dutch: Sint Jan Berchmans) is the Roman Catholic church of the Collège Saint Michel of Brussels, Belgium. Founded by the Society of Jesus at the turn of the 20th century, the church is dedicated to the Belgian jesuit saint St. Jan Berchmans.
The purpose of the church was to form the vital center of the newly created Collège Saint Michel. It was build in the same architectural style as the rest of the school buildings. Msg. Giovanni Tacci Porcelli, Nuncio to Belgium, laid down the foundation stone of the church on 20 July 1908. Architect Joseph Prémont was inspired by the Rhenan Romanesque tradition of the Middle Ages. The church is of Rhenan Romanesque revival style and was consecrated on 9 July 1912 by Msg. Joseph van Reeth (s.j.) bishop of Galle.
The church is built in a Latin Cross plan with a central nave and two aisles, cut by a small transept. The nave on three levels is divided in four spans by two times three monolithic barreled columns of polished Labrador granite. The capitals, made of white Euville stone, are all decorated with different motifs. The choir ends in a semi-circular apse under a five-sided arch. The back of the church also forms a semi-circular apse, inspired by the style of the Romanesque churches of the region of the Rhine.
