"Visit the Final Resting Place of Belgium's Kings The recently restored church of Our Lady of Laeken is located near the Royal Residence. This ornate cathedral was built by King Leopold I, in memory of his wife, Queen Louise-Marie to honor her wish to be buried in Laeken. The Church was designed by Joseph Poelaert who was also the architect of the (in)famous Law Courts in Brussels . The church’s crypt is the final resting place of many members of the Belgian Royal family and contains the tombs of all of the country’s former kings."
