St. Stephen's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Gothic Saint Stephen's Church in Brussegem (Merchtem) dates from the 16th-17th century. The church was built in sandstone on a slope delimited by a cemetery wall. The church building consists of a square western tower, a three-aisled nave of three bays, two lower protruding cross arms and a choir with three-sided apse. In 1976 the church was protected as a monument.

St. Anne’s Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Chapel dedicated to Saint Anne and elaborated in traditional brick and sandstone style, going up to about 1700 when the characteristic, late baroque facade was created. The chapel was probably expanded around 1782. The most recent restoration campaign dates from 2001-2008.
The chapel is located on a triangular grassy square, on the corner of Bollestraat and Nieuwelaan, which was partially re-enclosed during the most recent restoration. The chapel is preceded by a cobbled forecourt and surrounded by a cobbled path.

St. John the Baptist Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Parish church, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, nestled in the middle of a walled cemetery. The typical country church is a stylistically heterogeneous construction with a complex building history, with the west tower as the oldest core dating back to around 1300.
The Sint-Jan-de-Doperkerk was implanted in a curvature of the old Opperzelestraat (nowadays Osselstraat-Kasteelstraat), which departed from the Brussels-Merchtem highway and ran through Ossel, over Amelgem to Meise. However, the construction of the Brusselsesteenweg, which crosses Ossel, disrupted the local road pattern, physically separating the church from the more westerly rectory (1758). The church is surrounded by largely renovated village houses and is connected to the adjacent castle grounds via a lane on the east side.
