Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Troostbasiliek

The Basilik du Onze-Lieve-Vrouw ten Troost Kerk (English: Basilica Church of Our Lady of Consolation), simply known as the Troostkerk, is a Roman Catholic minor basilica in Vilvoorde, Belgium. The shrine is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the venerated title of Our Lady of Consolation. The history of the church and its Carmelite monastery (the oldest in Western Europe) go back 800 years.

Pope Benedict XVI signed the notarized decree which raised the shrine to Basilica on 1 March 2006. It was formally consecrated as a basilica on 7 May 2006 by the former Archbishop of Mechelen, Cardinal Godfried Danneels.
