Portal of the St. Ursula Chapel

The church of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw ten Zavel (Eglise Notre-Dame du Sablon) in Brussels is best known for its two magnificent Baroque chapels which the Thurn und Taxis family had built on both sides of the choir in the second half of the seventeenth century. One chapel is dedicated to St. Ursula and was designed by Lucas Faydherbe and contains ornate sculptures by Gabriël Grupello, Mattheus van Beveren, J�r�me Duquesnoy the Younger and Jan van Delen. The other chapel is dedicated to Saint Marcouf who is, amongst others, the patron saint of the pharmacists and drapers. The two chapels are excellent examples of the High Baroque sculpture and architecture developed in the Southern Netherlands.
