Where to stay in Vleurgat
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms in Vleurgat are Brussels rooms. The district carries no lodging register of its own, so a booking here is a booking in the wider city, and the beds nearest the Horta Museum and the Bascule end sit among ordinary residential streets rather than in any hotel quarter. A walk crosses this corner of Brussels in minutes.
Guests who want the Meunier Museum, St Andrew's Church, and the Van Rysselberghe House within a walk take a room on this side of Brussels and reach the rest of the city from it.

About Vleurgat
What are the main landmarks in Vleurgat?
The list is long for so small a district. Vleurgat's registers name the Horta Museum, the Meunier Museum, Hankar House, and the Beukman House, along with the Sander Pierron House and the Maison Dubois on the same short circuit of streets. Churches punctuate it.
St Andrew's Church, the Church of the Holy Cross, the Barnabites Church, and the Apostolic Armenian Church of Saint Mary Magdalene each hold a corner, and the Monument aux pionniers coloniaux d'Ixelles stands among them.
What is the history of Vleurgat?
Vleurgat's charter year never reached paper. What the registers keep instead is a roll of the people who built and worked here, since the architect Antoine Pompe and the architect Adrien Blomme each raised a house for themselves, as did Jean-Baptiste Dewin. Painters followed the same pattern.
Géo Bernier and Paul Verdussen kept house and studio under one roof, Jean Gouweloos gave his name to a maison-atelier, and Louise de Hem and Clas Grüner Sterner are each remembered by the address where they lived and worked.
Where is Vleurgat?
Vleurgat occupies one quarter of the Brussels street fabric, the same ground that carries the Bascule label, the Maison de Verre, and Villa Elisa.
