Tips

The House of the Dukes of Brabant is a building in classicizing baroque style on the Grote Markt in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. The group of houses under a common roof fills the entire southeastern side of the square. The building owes its name to the busts of the Dukes of Brabant incorporated into the facades. It concerns seven houses behind a monumental façade with a striking pediment, located between the Hoedenmakersstraat and the Heuvelstraat.

The houses on the square were built between 1697 and 1698 according to plans by city architect Willem de Bruyn after the bombardment of Brussels in 1695.
