Few cities in Brussels-Capital have a history as closely tied to the cultivation of sour cherries for traditional kriek beer as Schaerbeek. Once a rural settlement, this municipality became a densely built northeastern part of Brussels, on terrain rising beyond the Senne valley. The cherry remains in local symbolism, while Josaphat Park forms an extended green space through the district. Place Colignon is dominated by Schaerbeek Town Hall, and Maison Autrique, designed by Victor Horta in 1893, marks an early chapter of Brussels Art Nouveau.
