Palace of the Count of Flanders
Palace of the Count of Flanders, Neoclassical city palace in Brussels, Belgium.
The Palace of the Count of Flanders exhibits symmetrical design principles with classical columns adorning its facade at Regentschapsstraat 2 in Brussels.
Built between 1776 and 1781 for Countess Brigitte of Tirimont-Templeuve, the palace underwent expansions by architects Guimard, Saintenoy, and Parent from 1866 to 1890.
The palace marks the transition period when Belgium established its national identity, reflecting architectural influences from Austrian, French, and Dutch occupations.
The palace functions as the headquarters for the Court of Audit of Belgium and remains accessible via Brussels-Central railway station and metro lines.
Prince Albert, who later became King Albert I of Belgium, was born within these palace walls on April 8, 1875.
