Maison du Paon - Den Pauw, Baroque house in Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium
The Maison du Paon displays a white-painted facade with three bays adorned in gold, featuring a ground floor, mezzanine, two upper floors, and a gable.
After the French troops of Louis XIV bombed Brussels in 1695, the Maison du Paon was rebuilt in 1697 and later restored by architect Victor Jamaer in 1882.
The name translates to House of the Peacock, with the central bay of the first floor decorated with a golden peacock above the mullioned windows.
Located at Grand Place 35, the building currently houses a brewery on its ground floor, mezzanine, and first floor following complete interior restoration.
The facade stands out as the only white-painted building on Grand Place, featuring twisted balusters and fruit garlands decorated in gold across its levels.
