About the street
The Rue de Stassart is a historic street in Ixelles (Brussels) that connects Chaussée d’Ixelles to Place Stéphanie.
Main Features
– Origin of the name: The street is named after Goswin, Baron de Stassart (1780–1854), a politician, diplomat and the first President of the Belgian Senate.
– Heritage:
At No. 18 stands the former Church of the Resurrection.
At No. 34 is the former Union Coloniale Belge (Belgian Colonial Union), a landmark building where the first spoken radio news broadcast in Belgium was aired by Théo Fleischman on 1 November 1926.
At Nos. 124–126 and No. 131, there are neoclassical buildings constructed in 1868 by the architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar.
