16 Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat, Official residence in Royal Quarter, Brussels, Belgium
The neoclassical building at 16 Rue de la Loi features symmetrical proportions, decorated friezes, and grand columns across its white stone facade.
Louis Montoyer designed this governmental structure in 1784 during Austrian rule, and the building received its official opening ceremony in 1944.
The building maintains its position as a central location for Belgian political discussions, representing governmental authority within the Royal Quarter of Brussels.
