Where to stay in Kapelleveld
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Beds cluster elsewhere in Brussels. Kapelleveld itself reads as a residential quarter around the Chapel of Mary the Miserable and the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, with no separate hotel register attached to its name in the gazetteer. A room here is a Brussels room.
Visitors who plan days at the Albert Couvreur Pharmaceutical Museum or in the Tuin van Geneeskrachtige planten book in the surrounding city and come out to the quarter, which costs them a short ride rather than a journey.

About Kapelleveld
What are the main landmarks in Kapelleveld?
Medicine and cloisters share the ground. The Albert Couvreur Pharmaceutical Museum sits beside the Tuin van Geneeskrachtige planten, and the Farmaceutische collectie Albert Couvreur is registered alongside them, so a single walk covers a museum, its collection, and a garden of medicinal plants. Two orders left buildings.
The Visitandinnenklooster and the Salesian Monastery stand within the quarter, the Beeldentuin appears in the same register, and the Chapel of Mary the Miserable is listed apart from the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption.
What is the history of Kapelleveld?
One date starts the record. A tenants' cooperative called La Cité-Jardin du Kapelleveld was founded in 1922 to build on a plateau that had stood empty until then, with housing meant mainly for low-paid clerks. Religious houses dominate what follows.
The Visitandinnenklooster and the Salesian Monastery mark two communities that settled the ground, the Chapel of Mary the Miserable and the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption are both entered in the same list, and the pharmaceutical collection gathered under the name of Albert Couvreur stands beside them.
Where is Kapelleveld?
Kapelleveld forms one of the named quarters inside Brussels, its ground shared by the Salesian Monastery, the Beeldentuin, and a garden of medicinal plants.
