Hidden in plain sight, Longchamp – Langeveld whispers stories of centuries past. Longchamp, also known as Langeveld, isn’t just a neighborhood in Uccle. It’s a time capsule nestled in the northeast of the Brussels-Capital Region. Originally, this area was part of the Soignes Forest. It housed an inn and a large open space. This unique feature gave Longchamp – Langeveld its Dutch name, Langeveld, meaning “long field”. The area was then part of the Carloo seigneury. The Ferraris map from the 1770s shows it as Langheveldt along the road from Brussels to Waterloo and La Hulpe. In the late 19th century, Baron Georges Brugmann spearheaded the development of a grand avenue north of Longchamp – Langeveld. Initially named Avenue de Longchamp, it later became Avenue Winston Churchill, giving rise to the Churchill district. This marked Longchamp – Langeveld’s transformation into the residential haven it is today. The neighborhood is bordered on the east by the bustling Chaussée de Waterloo, the N5 road. Longchamp – Langeveld’s tranquil setting belies its vibrant past, offering a peaceful retreat while echoing the footsteps of history.
