The Church of Our Lady of Laeken is a Catholic parish church in the Laeken district of Brussels, Belgium, built in neo-Gothic style from 1854. Originally erected in memory of Queen Louise-Marie, wife of King Leopold I, it was designed by Joseph Poelaert. Pope Pius XI granted a decree of pontifical coronation for its venerated Marian image in 1935, and the rite was performed in 1936. Beneath the shrine lies the Royal Crypt, the main resting place of the Belgian royal family.
