Hôtel de Mérode-Westerloo, Protected heritage mansion in Pentagon district, Belgium
The Hôtel de Mérode Westerloo stands with a U-shaped layout, featuring thirteen bays of brick and white stone construction along Rue aux Laines in Brussels.
First recorded in 1491, the current structure dates from 1618 when Duke Alexander of Bournonville commissioned its construction as a residence in Brussels.
The mansion contains vaulted cellars, decorated ceilings, and an entrance vestibule adorned with Aubusson tapestry, reflecting the nobility's architectural preferences.
Located at Rue aux Laines 23, the mansion maintains its residential function while housing The Merode business club since 2021.
Three remarkable trees grow near the property: a Cedar of Lebanon, a Turner Oak, and a Tulip Tree, enhancing the grounds.
