Hof van Nassau, Gothic palace in Royal Quarter, Brussels, Belgium
The Hof van Nassau consisted of multiple buildings with a chapel, situated near the Palace of Coudenberg on elevated terrain in Brussels.
Construction began in 1340 when Willem van Duivenvoorde established residence, and through marriage in 1403, it transferred to the House of Nassau.
The palace served as a meeting place for European nobility, featuring artwork including paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and Hugo van der Goes.
The chapel remains accessible as part of the Royal Library of Belgium, while the gardens transformed into the current Museum Square.
The palace included a special bed designed to throw intoxicated guests, demonstrating the nobles' particular sense of entertainment.
