Place de la Vaillance

The Place de la Vaillance (French, pronounced [plas də la vajɑ̃s]) or Dapperheidsplein (Dutch, pronounced [ˈdɑpərɦɛitsˌplɛin]), meaning "Valour Square", is the main square in the historical centre of Anderlecht, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium.

As early as 1912, historicist style houses fitted with Baroque and neo-Flemish Renaissance gables were erected.

[2] Close to the church is the old beguinage of Anderlecht,[2] a late medieval lay convent.

Not far from there, on the Rue du Chapitre, is the Erasmus House, a late Gothic or early Renaissance style house where the Dutch humanist writer and theologian Erasmus of Rotterdam stayed in 1521.

The house is complemented by a garden which includes a space for medicinal herbs.
