L’Église de la rue Belliard
Encyclopedia
L’Église de la rue Belliard was a Brussels
-based evangelical Protestant congregation, started in 1837 when a group left the Temple de l'Observatoire
Protestant church.
L’Église de la rue Belliard originally met on rue du Jeu de paume under pastor Denis Lourde-Laplace, then on 24 rue Ducale under the ministry of pastor Edouard Panchaud (1839-1862). In 1851 the congregation built an Evangelical Chapel on 13 rue Belliard in the new Leopold quarter in Brussels
.
Over the years L’Église de la rue Belliard and the Temple de l'Observatoire
divided and rejoined several times before finally reuniting in 1973 to become L’Église Protestante Bruxelles-Botanique.
The church building on rue Belliard was sold in 1974 and a new building on boulevard Bisschoffsheim dedicated in 1977.
