The Church of Our Lady of Finisterrae (French: Église Notre-Dame du Finistère; Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Finisterraekerk) is a Catholic church in central Brussels, Belgium. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Finisterrae.[2]
The current church, which combines Brabantine Baroque and neoclassical styles, was built at the beginning of the 18th century, replacing an older chapel dating back to the early 17th century, when the Rue Neuve/Nieuwstraat was created, to house a miraculous statuette of the Virgin. The complex was designated a historic monument in 1958.[1][3]
