Here are some photographs, courtesy of Georges Jansoone and Michel Wal, of the mausoleum to Queen Louise-Marie of the Belgians (1812-1850), the consort of Leopold I. In Ostend, where the Queen, famed for her kindness and holiness, passed away at 38, a Neo-gothic chapel in the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul honors her memory. The white marble monument was executed in 1859 by the Belgian sculptor Charles-Auguste Fraikin.
