*The majestic church of the [[Grimbergen Abbey]], dedicated to [[Saint Servatius]], [[patron saint]] of the city, was rebuilt several times since its foundation in 1128. The current construction dates from 1660 and ranks among the most harmonious [[Baroque]] buildings in Belgium.  The tower houses a 49-bell [[carillon]].  The houses lining the central square in front of the church have also been rebuilt in the original style of the 18th century. In 1999, the church of Grimbergen was given the title of [[basilica]].
