Seek out Sint-Martinus, a 1970s parish church tucked into Ganshoren. Look at its modern design and quiet interior, and get a sense of everyday Brussels life away from the main sights.
Full description
Sint-Martinus in Ganshoren is a Catholic church built in the 1970s, offering a very different look from the Gothic and neoclassical churches of central Brussels. Visitors describe a modern building with a warm, family-like parish atmosphere, and one mentions a welcoming priest.
It sits in a residential northern municipality, so it appeals mostly to those exploring beyond the tourist core or interested in postwar religious architecture. Opening is limited and it is closed on Mondays and Saturdays, so a short visit of around 15 minutes should be timed in advance.
