The Basilica
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Koekelberg
is a masterpiece of Art Deco.
|
Between the first designs of the Basilica, dating
from the end of the 19th century, and the completion of the building
lies almost a century. The building you can admire now is the result of a
contemporary art expression, with the desire of like in the Renaissance
approaching eternal beauty.
|
The concept of this religious building could
only have been realised thanks to the cooperation of the architect Albert Van
huffel, the engineer Paul Rome and the sculptor Harry Elstrøm.
