From the middle ages, this castle overlooked Brussels from Coudenberg hill. From the 12th century, the successive monarchs and their representatives transformed a small fortified castle into a residential palace, one of the most beautiful palaces of Europe and one of Charles V’s main residences. This prestigious building was severely damaged by fire in 1731. To learn more about it, visit Brussels Museums website.
