About this spot
The Sint-Katelijnekerk is a church in the north of Brussels' pentagon, at the Sint-Katelijneplein. With the exception of a Baroque tower, the medieval church has been replaced by a 19th-century building by Joseph Poelaert.
The current church was built in various styles between 1854 and 1874 by Joseph Poelaert, the architect of the monumental Palace of Justice, and his pupil and follower Wynand Janssens. The church was partially located on the filled-in Sint-Katelijnedok, at the end of the Willebroek Canal. In 1870, the Sint-Katelijneplein was expanded by filling in the Vismarkt (Vismet or Marché aux Poissons), north of the church. The street names "Baksteenkaai" and "Brandhoutkaai" are a reminder of the industrial past of the district.
