Hiking
The entire area around the Place Royale and the Park of Brussels was redeveloped in neoclassical style after the serious fire that destroyed the Palace of the Dukes of Brabant in 1731, according to the plans of architect Barnabé Guimard. The current Palace of the Nation was part of this project.
The first stone was laid in 1779, during the reign of Empress Maria-Theresa of Austria. The palace was originally intended as the seat of the Sovereign Council of Brabant, the highest legal and administrative body of the Duchy of Brabant.
