Brussels Landmarks
- Grand Palace is one of the most ornate squares in the world, with its cobbled streets and one of the most magnificent collections of Baroque architecture in existence. This square has always been the commercial and civic centre of Brussels and continues to be to this day. Its beauty is simply breathtaking with its beautiful mansions, including the splendid Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall). This stunning building was completed in 1459 and remains today the most beautiful civic structure in the country. The spectacular turrets, sculptures, arches and the pièce de resistance, the magnificent tower and spire are simply breathtaking, making this building an unmissable sight. Inside the Town Hall the sumptuous interiors, especially in the Aldermen’s Room and the Conference Room Council Chamber, of gilded furnishings and elaborate tapestries continue the building’s opulent style. The crowning glory is the statue of the city’s patron saint, Michael, on top of the spire, which was restored and returned to its famous position in 1997. Nearby is the unusual Brussels favourite attraction Manneken Pis, a statue of a urinating boy, located on Rues de l’Etuve and du chêne. This statue has acquired cult-status over the centuries due to its audacity and subsequent attempted thefts. The statue now has over 400 outfits, miniature versions of national dress donated by visiting heads of state.
The Palais de Justice, located on Place Poelaert and built in 1883, is the site of the city’s law court, and is simply awe-inspiring both in its mammoth size and Neo-Classical design. This striking building is a landmark of Brussels, and an inherent part of the city’s skyline. The structure can be seen from almost any spot in the city, and sums up the character of this charming city perfectly. This was one of the finest and most extensive architectural projects undertaken by the country’s second monarch, King Léopold II, occupying an enormous area larger than the Vatican church in Rome. The detailed cornicing and intricate brickwork was designed with classical temples in mind, and this combined with the deep reddy-brown hue of the stonework makes the structure one of the most striking 19th century buildings in the world.
The magnificent white sandy-limestone exterior of the Cathédrale Sts Michel et Gudule, located on Parvis Ste-Gudule, is a monumental landmark of Brussels. The structure is the national church of Belgium, and was made a cathedral in 1962. Dating from the 13th century, under the Duke of Brabant, this cathedral is a spectacular example of Brabant Gothic style, the greatest one in existence. The church was a work in progress for over 300 years, and was only finally completed with the building of its iconic twin towers at the beginning of the 16th century. The interior of the cathedral is very sparse due to Protestant iconoclast plundering in the 1500s and French Revolutionist thefts in 1783. Despite this the Renaissance-style Last Judgement window above the entrance, dating from the 1500s, is a spectacular stained-glass construction made up of striking blues, reds and yellows, which portrays Christ awaiting saved souls. The Baroque garlands of flowers surrounding the depiction were added later on. A gilded statue of Sainte Gudule stands in pride of place, as does one of St Michel (Archangel Michael), the patron saint of the city, which depicts his heroic slaying of the dragon, which is symbolic of his protection of Brussels. The extravagant Baroque pulpit located in the central aisle, is the centrepiece of this magnificent church, with its fantastically intricate carving and crowning statue. The pulpit was designed in 1699 by an Antwerpian sculptor, but was not installed in the church until 1776.
The Quartier Européen is where all the main European Union administration buildings are located. The most iconic of these buildings is the star-shaped Berlaymont building used to house the commission workers (the EU civil servants). The Council of Ministers, which is made up of representatives from the governments of all member-states, is now located within the striking pink granite and glass building known as the Justus Lipsius, after a Flemish philosopher. Nearby is the Parliament Quarter, which is home to the famous European Parliament building, home to over 700 MEPs. This magnificent innovative domed glass building has been named “Les Caprices des Dieux” (“The Whims of the Gods”), due to both its shape and the perceived over-exalted aspirations of the politicians who reside there. Despite this there is no doubt that the building has a breathtaking effect on all who view it.
Brussels’ Stock Exchange, La Bourse, located in the Palais de la Bourse, is one of the metropolis’ most striking buildings, and dominates the square that it stands in. The 1873 Palladian-style building has a magnificent façade with elaborate carvings, such as the sculptures depicting Asia and Africa, thought to be by the French genius sculptor, Rodin. There is also a spectacular colonnade, beneath which two intricately detailed winged figures representing Good and Evil stand. Parts of the building are open to explore, but visitors are barred from the frenzied trading floor.
The Eglise St-Nicholas, located on Rue au Beurre, was damaged in the 1695 French bombardment and wasn’t restored until 1956, when the church was given a new Gothic-style façade. The church is named after the patron saint of merchants, and the choir stalls, dating from 1381, have intricate medallions on them depicting St Nicholas’ story. Highlights are the oddly-angled chapel and the works of art by Orley and Rubens on display.
The Eglise St-Jean-Baptiste-au-Béguinage, located on Place de Béguinage and founded in 1676, has a phenomenally intricate façade and onion-shaped steeples, typical of Flemish Baroque style from the 17th century. The church was created for the oldest and largest Béguine community in the country established in 1250. This sect was made up of widows and women from failed marriages that lived together and did charitable work in the community. The interior of the church is as impressive as the façade, with an ornate Baroque nave, decorated with delicate winged cherubs, angels and scrolls, and the confessionals are as ornate decorated with allegorical figures and saints.
Brussels has a number of stunning gardens, including Le Jardin Botanique located on Rue Royale, which has a spectacular 19th century iron glasshouse, Parc Léopold located on Rue Belliard, the location of a fabulous science park whose visitors have included Marie Curie and Albert Einstein, and Parc de Bruxelles, which abounds with fountains, statues and tree-lined walks. Place du Petit Sablon contains another fabulous garden, a picturesque little garden designed in 1890, which features on top of the railings 48 bronze figurines, each representing a different medieval guild of the city. The centrepiece of this magnificent park is the beautiful fountain commemorating the martyrs who led an uprising against the Spanish rulers, which is decorated with their statues. However, the fabulous Parc Cinquantenaire, located on Avenue de Tervuren, has to be the most spectacular of them all. The park also has a magnificent palace situated within it, now home to a series of spectacular museums, such as an automotive museum, a military museum, and an art gallery. The park and Palace du Cinquantenaire were built to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Belgian independence in 1880, and are the finest of all the works Léopold II undertook. The park also features a stunning Triumphal Arch completed in 1905, which was modelled on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and is topped with a bronze sculpture of Brabant raising the National Flag. The garden also contains many tree-lined avenues containing elms and plane trees that date back to 1880, pavilions and a mosque.
Rue des Bouchers, the location of the city’s celebrated Galleries St-Hubert, is a picturesque little cobbled street, filled with architectural gems with gabled windows and overhanging roofs. This street is so important to the history of Brussels that it has been declared a ‘sacred islet’ meaning no alterations to the buildings are allowed. This chocolate-box street is colloquially known as “the belly of Brussels” due to its large number of cafés and restaurants. The best scenes here are at night-time, when displays of seafood piled high on ice are atmospherically lit by the streetlamps. At the end of the street is a tongue-in-cheek 1987 statue of Jeanneke Pis, a mischievous female version of the famous Belgian boy-statue Manneken Pis, designed to reflect sexual equality.
The Quartier Royal, which centres around the Parc de Bruxelles, contains many spectacular Neo-Classical buildings and squares, some of the finest 18th century buildings in Europe, such as Place Royale, Palais des Académies, the residence of the Académie Royale de Belgique since 1876, and the Palais de la Nation, which has been the site of the Belgian Parliament since it became an independent state in 1831. This spectacular Neo-Classical 18th century building has a phenomenal stone edifice. The most magnificent buildings in the Quartier Royal are the Palais Royal, located in Place de Palais, and the Eglise St-Jacques-sur-Coudenberg located in Place Royale, a picturesque, symmetrical little square. The Palais Royal is the official home of the Belgian monarch, and a flag flies above it when the King is at home. The building dates from the 1820s but improvements to it continued throughout the 20th century. The state rooms are only open to the public in the summer, but this is a visit not to be missed. The highlights of the palace are the magnificently ornate Throne Room with its gilded finishings, 11 enormous candelabras and 28 wall-mounted chandeliers, and the Small White Room, with its rows of 19th century royal portraits, candle-lit chandeliers and late-18th century rococo furnishings. Other star sights are the Empire Room, the Long Gallery with its magnificent 19th century ceiling paintings depicting Dawn, Day and Dusk, and the extravagant Hall of Mirrors, the scene of many a ceremonial occasion. The beautiful white and terracotta Eglise St-Jacques-sur-Coudenberg, built in 1787, is one of the city’s most quaint churches, and features a magnificent 18th century façade complete with Corinthian columns, which was modelled to the exact detail on a classical temple. The church also contains a spectacular green 19th century cupola, topped with a golden cross and the entire plasterwork is decorated with flowers. Inside the church contains a barrel-vaulted nave which contains many ornate Neo-Classical paintings, as well as a royal pew.
Bruparck, located on Boulevard du Centenaire, is full of fabulous theme parks, such as a tropically-heated water park, Océade, which is filled with giant slides, wave machines and even artificial beaches, Kineopolis, a film-fanatic’s haven, and the renowned Mini-Europe, which features over 300 mini familiar landmarks from all the EU countries. The detail involved in these models, such as the Athenian Acropolis, the Berlin Brandenburg Gate and the British Houses of Parliament, is absolutely breathtaking. However, the park’s most famous structure is the huge silver Atomium, which rises high over the park and is one of the most archetypal symbols of the city. This metal extraordinaire, built for the 1958 World Fair in Belgium, is evocative of something from the space-age but is actually a replica of an iron atom magnified 165 billion times. There are nine spheres which make up the atom, which contain exhibition rooms and a restaurant, linked by escalators.
