The burial chapel of Evrard, situated at the entrance of Laeken Cemetery in #Brussels, was constructed for the wealthy couple Léonce Evrard and Louise Flignot. Originally from France, the couple settled in #Laeken in 1891 and were subsequently interred in their chapel following their deaths in 1916 and 1919, respectively.
