Through history, Molenbeek has been an area of activity. Pre-Christian times saw a water source worshiped at a fordable spot along the Malebeek stream; Germans placed this under the care of goddess Freya who later transformed into St. Geertrui when Christianity arrived in the region. After Christianity arrived and settled here permanently, St. Geertrui became associated with Abbey of Nivelles which had its founder be St. Geertrui himself - offering healing water from her wells for pilgrimage purposes - along with "St. Geertrui-minne" bottles to drink on both journeys out and returns.

Molenbeek began life in the Middle Ages as an expansive farming village centered on St. John's church. This church extended all the way to Zenne river, featuring a chapel dedicated to St. Catherine. Over time, however, due to two walls being constructed around Brussels separating Molenbeek from this chapel devoted to Catherine; eventually becoming known as St Catherine church when separated due to two walls being constructed between Molenbeek and Catherine church - even supporting an independent Brussels Beguinage founded around 1250; later lost independence becoming subordinated under city of Brussels until 1795 when French authorities established municipalities with respective status for Sint-Jans-Molenbeek status granted from Brussels authorities which gave Sint-Jans-Molenbeek its own status!
