Berchem-Sainte-Agathe ( French ) or Sint-Agatha-Berchem ( Dutch ) is a municipality on the western edge of the bilingual Brussels-Capital region in Belgium . It borders the municipalities of Ganshoren , Koekelberg and Molenbeek-Saint-Jean / Sint-Jans-Molenbeek in the Brussels-Capital Region and the Flemish municipalities of Asse and Dilbeek .

The community area begins immediately behind the National Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the Koekelberg, which is the most important point of reference, but does not belong to the community itself.

The center of the community is Albert-Schweitzer -Platz on Chaussée de Gand / Gentse Steenweg , an arterial road to the northwest.

Berchem has a station of the National Company of Belgian Railways on the Ghent route and is served by tram lines 19, 82 and 83.
