It was the vision of Belgium’s first kings to create a “Royal District” on the Koekelberg plateau. Plans and sketches for its construction date back to the end of Leopold I’s reign. Nearly a century passed between the initial designs in the late 19th century and the building’s completion.

• Royal Palace of Brussels - The Royal Palace was constructed on the site of the former Palace of the Dukes of Brabant, which was destroyed by fire in 1731. Construction began in 1820 under King William’s reign and was modified in 1904 under Leopold II, who had it rebuilt in Louis XVI style.
