Domaine de Laeken, Royal estate in Laeken district, Belgium
The Domaine de Laeken encompasses 460 acres of land with English gardens, lakes, a golf course, and multiple architectural structures within Brussels.
The estate's palace, built between 1782 and 1784 for Habsburg Netherlands governors, underwent reconstruction after an 1890 fire under King Leopold II's direction.
The Royal Greenhouses within the estate maintain an extensive collection of botanical species, reflecting Belgium's historical connections and horticultural traditions.
Public access to the Royal Greenhouses occurs during a three-week period in April and May when the gardens display their seasonal blooms.
The estate functions as the primary residence of the Belgian royal family while featuring specialized areas such as the Chinese Pavilion and Japanese Tower.
