The station was opened in 1952, following construction of the North–South connection, between the stations of Brussels-Central and Brussels-South. It is situated in the Marolles/Marollen district, and takes its name from the neighbouring Chapel Church. Also immediately opposite the station is St John Berchmans College.

The station is served by some trains of the S1 line of the Brussels Regional Express Network (RER/GEN). During the week, one train an hour stops in each direction. There is no service at all later in the evenings or at weekends. The stopping trains generally use platforms 5 and 6, the easternmost pair of tracks.


Recyclart


While few trains stop at the station, the buildings beneath the track level have found an alternative use. The Recyclart project, which started in 1997,[1] is a social-cultural space with an urban, DIY feel. It puts on art exhibitions and concerts, provides workshop space to artists of many varieties, and offers food and drink.[2]
