    Tips

    July 23, 2023

    Gideon Bordiau, to whom we also owe the Cinquantenaire, was entrusted with the development project for the Squares district. This project provides, among other things, for the undergrounding of the railway line linking the Léopold district to the Gare du Nord, the filling in of part of the Saint-Josse pond and the development of an estate of squares with the construction of a palace of fine arts and, at the very top, a church. The economic crisis at the end of the 19th century, however, made these last two projects inconceivable.

    The superb houses that border the squares will be built at the turn of the century, forming a fairly homogeneous whole mixing different architectural styles, in particular the Flemish neo-Renaissance but also Art Nouveau.
