Kapelstraat, 3500 Hasselt, HASSELT, BELGIUM
The Virga-Jesse Basilica in Hasselt, stands where a member of the Fraternity of Our Lady built the Clerkenkapel in 1334. This first building was replaced by a church in late Baroque and early Classical Revival style in 1727.
The second building was severely damaged by a V1 rocket in 1944; the rebuilt church was opened in 1951, and elevated to the status of basilica in 1998.
