King's House, Museum building at Grand Place, Belgium
The King's House exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with stepped gables, ornate decorations, and a central spire rising above the Grand Place.
The building originated in 1405 as a bread market before transforming into a ducal administrative center and later becoming the Brussels City Museum.
The Museum contains the original Manneken Pis statue, medieval tapestries, paintings, and artifacts that document the evolution of Brussels through centuries.
The Brussels City Museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with free admission on the first Sunday of each month.
The structure underwent complete reconstruction by architect Victor Jamaer between 1874 and 1896, following principles of Gothic architectural restoration.
