Minerva Automobiles was a Belgian car manufacturer founded in 1897 by Sylvain de Jong. Initially, Minerva focused on bicycle production before venturing into automobiles and even aero-engines. Owned initially by de Jong and later by various owners, the company was known for its luxury vehicles and for being a leading European manufacturer in the early 20th century. Minerva operated mainly out of Belgium but had international recognition and reach, especially in the luxury car market. Production ceased after World War II, and the brand has since faded into automotive history.
