Notre Dame du Sablon is a beautiful church with exquisite Gothic architecture located at one end of the Grand Sablon, a little square full of restaurants, antique shops, chocolate shops and bars. The church is quite large and there are very beautiful stained glass windows inside. It is worth visiting the church if you are in the area.

Restored and cleaned recently, this authentic Gothic flamboyant church is in the middle of a highly prized neighborhood.

I was very happy to go into this beautiful church. Lots of beautiful stained glass windows, and the preachers chair was beautifully carved out in dark wood.

A must see when visiting Brussels. Great architecture. It's pretty cool to go there during the summer months - on 21st July in particular.

Notre Dame du Sablon is a Catholic church located in Upper Town in the heart of Brussels. It is a small Gothic Church built in the 15th century. I have seen several churches and cathedrals with the name Notre Dame so was surprised at how small this one was (I thought it would be much bigger). It was nice to... More

We made a trip out to see this church and it is a pretty church but it is not worth seeing unless you are close and enjoy that type of thing. Compared to the cathedral? there really is no comparison... I would suggest going there instead.

Defiantly worth taking some time to see the colorful painted glass. No fees for entry, not very rich furniture, but quiet & peaceful. It was on our route list after visiting Musical Instruments Museum MIM as the area is very interesting full of many sightseeing.. Try not to miss this one. Just outside, they had antique huge market. ENJOY...

I'm not usually one for visiting religious buildings but I have to say my visit here was quite relaxing. There was a symphony orchestra rehearsing at the time and they were very good which was an added bonus. It's situated in a lovely area too, possibly my favourite part of Brussels.

Beautifully serene. Lovely stained glass windows. There was a small orchestra playing when we visited. The solo violinist was excellent. I just took a pew and soaked up the atmosphere. Wonderful.
