About Temple of the Augustinians, Brussels

The Temple of the Augustinians (French: Temple des Augustins; Dutch: Augustijnentempel), or the Church of the Augustinians (French: Église des Augustins; Dutch: Augustijnenkerk), was a Brabantine Baroque-style church in Brussels, Belgium, designed and built from 1621 to 1642 by the architect Jacob Franquart for the Augustinians order.

It was located on the Place de Brouckère/De Brouckèreplein in central Brussels until its demolition in 1893–94. Its façade's masonry, however, was preserved, being disassembled and reconstructed as the façade of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Ixelles.
