Église St-Nicolas

Eglise Saint-Nicolas interior

Near the Bourse, this pint-sized church is as old as Brussels itself. What really makes it notable is its virtual invisibility – the exterior is almost totally encrusted with shops. Appropriately enough, it’s dedicated to the patron saint of merchants.
