Detail InformationEdit

The Chapel of the Resurrection (in Dutch Verrijzeniskapel, in French Chapelle de la Résurrection) is a Roman Catholic church with an ecumenical vocation located in the heart of the Brussels’ European Quarter of Brussels (district City of Brussels), next to the former Convent Van Maerlant. A precursor of this church, which dated back to the 15th century, was situated in the city center, but demolished in the course of urban development in 1907. Instead, a replica, externally true to the original, was built at its present location.
In 2001, after substantial renovation, the church received its present name and took on its present ecumenical character. The pastoral responsibility for the chapel is has been entrusted to the Jesuit Order. The history of the building goes back to the Chapelle du Saint-Sacrement de Miracle (Chapel of the Miraculous Sacrament), which was built in the Rue des Sols/Stuiversstraat in the city centre in 1455. In the course of urban development measures in, the chapel had to give way for the construction of the Central Station.
The original chapel and adjoining convent was scheduled for demolition and a duplicate was built on Vanmaerlantstraat by the expropriated Order (Dames de l’adoration perpetuelle). This new chapel was inaugurated on 14 October 1908. In 1974 the sisters decided to sell the convent – which comprised what is now the entire block: while the main building today accommodates a library and a visitors’ centre of the European Commission, the chapel was sold to an international association (ivzw/aisbl) constituted under Belgian law, which had been founded by members of the European institutions in order to maintain the chapel as a space for prayer and liturgy.
