Step inside Notre-Dame des Victoires au Sablon, one of Brussels' finest Gothic churches. Walk the nave beneath tall stained glass, peek into the baroque chapels, and follow the QR codes to learn how the church came to be.
Full description
Notre-Dame des Victoires au Sablon is a late-Gothic church set on the edge of the antiques-and-chocolate district of the Sablon, a short walk from the city centre. Visitors come for the tall stained-glass windows, the carved interior and the baroque chapels added alongside the original Gothic structure, which includes a chapel linked to the d'Arenberg family.
Reviewers note that entry is free, that QR codes around the nave explain the church's story, and that it is open every day. A visit takes about 20 minutes and pairs naturally with a wander around the surrounding square.

Reviews
A church built around a 14th century heist?! Yes please! It was lovely and we had such a fun time checking out the QR codes with information about the church. It was free to enter, but we donated €5.
