Royal Greenhouses of Laeken, Brussels, Belgium
The Royal Greenhouses of Laeken (Dutch: Koninklijke Serres van Laken, French: Serres Royales de Laeken), are a vast complex of monumental heated greenhouses in the park of the Royal Palace of Laeken in the north of Brussels. It is one of the major tourist attractions of the city.
The complex was commissioned by King Leopold II and designed by Alphonse Balat. Built between 1874 and 1895, the complex was finished with the completion of the so-called Iron Church, a domed greenhouse that would originally serve as the royal chapel. The total floor surface of this immense complex is 2.5 hectares (270,000 square feet). 800,000 liters (over 200,000 US gallons) of fuel oil are needed each year to heat the buildings.
The complex can only be visited during a two-week period in April--May each year, when most flowers are in full bloom.

A Belgian Challenge, I would like to visit all 589 Belgian Municipalities. In this video I visit Laken, part of the municipality of Brussels. This means that there will be a second video of Brussels.
During this video we participated on a treasure hunt provided by Gemotions. You buy the game online and the only thing you need during your treasure hunt is a mobile phone. I won’t give more explanations about this, you can discover it yourself on their website ( Just to be clear, this is not a sponsored video.
During our walk in Laken, we discovered a lot of beautiful places, some of them I didn’t even know they existed!

BRUSSELS CITY SIGHTSEEING 9 ( From Eglise Nôtre-Dame de Laeken to Palais de Justice)
Eglise Nôtre-Dame de Laeken:
The Church of Our Lady of Laeken (French: Église Notre-Dame de Laeken; Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk van Laken) is a neo-Gothic Roman Catholic church in Laeken, Brussels (Belgium). It was originally built in memory of Queen Louise-Marie, wife of King Leopold I to the design of architect Joseph Poelaert. Queen Louise-Marie died in Ostend in 1850 and wished to be buried in Laeken. The nearby Royal Castle of Laeken was, and still is, the royal residence. Leopold I wished the church to be constructed in her memory and as a mausoleum for her. The young architect Joseph Poelaert was chosen to design the new church. He later became best known for the Law Courts of Brussels.
Colonne du Congres
The Congress Column (French: Colonne du Congrès, Dutch: Congreskolom) is a monumental column situated on the Place du Congrès/Congresplein in Brussels, Belgium, which commemorates the creation of the Constitution by the National Congress of 1830–1831. It was erected between 1850 and 1859, on the initiative of Charles Rogier according to a design by Joseph Poelaert, and was inspired by Trajan's Column in Rome . At the top of the column is a statue of Belgium's first monarch, King Leopold I, and the pedestal is surrounded by statues personifying the four freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution, while the Belgian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier lies at the foot of the column.
Palais de Justice
The Palace of Justice of Brussels (French: Palais de Justice de Bruxelles, Dutch: Justitiepaleis or Law Courts of Brussels is the most important court building in Belgium. It is located on Place Poelaert/Poelaertplein in the Marolles/Marollen district of Brussels. The building is reputed to be the largest constructed in the 19th century[1] and is a notable landmark of Brussels.
The Palace of Justice was built between 1866 and 1883 by the celebrated architect Joseph Poelaert in the eclectic style. The total cost of the construction, land and furnishings was somewhere in the region of 45 million Belgian francs.

België (5/2006) - Brussel, Koninklijke Serres van Laken
De Koninklijke Serres van Laken zijn een complex van serres bij het kasteel van Laken. De serres werden in art nouveau gebouwd door Alphonse Balat in opdracht van Leopold II. Dit serrecomplex maakt deel uit van de Koninklijke Schenking.
Het serrecomplex omvat verscheidene ijzer- en glasconstructies die onderling op ingenieuze en speelse wijze verbonden zijn door verglaasde galerijen.
Daarbij is het geheel ingeplant in een natuurlijk heuvelachtig parklandschap van 14.000 m². De grootste serre, de ronde koepelvormige Wintertuin (1874) met een diameter van 60 m en een hoogte van 30 m, is opgebouwd uit een aantal concentrische gietijzeren spanten die halverwege hun overspanning extra ondersteund worden door een rondgaande Dorische zuilengang. Begin- en eindpunt van de spanten steunen op de grond zodat de serre het beeld biedt van een glazen koepel die door luchtbogen wordt geschoord. Door de enorme afmetingen was het mogelijk hier Kongolese palmbomen te planten.
