Statue de la Brabançonne, National memorial statue in Pentagon District, Belgium

The Statue of the Brabançonne is a bronze monument on Surlet de Chokier Square in Brussels. Sculpted by Charles Samuel and cast by the Compagnie des Bronzes de Bruxelles, it shows a young woman singing and holding a Belgian flag with the Belgian Lion. The green-patinated bronze stands on a bluestone pedestal made by René Gillion, whose front face carries the lyrics of the Brabançonne in French and Dutch.

The monument was built in 1930 to mark the centenary of Belgian independence. It followed a temporary plaster version placed on Grand Place after World War I, marking a shift toward permanent public commemoration in Brussels.

The pedestal carries the words of the Brabançonne in French and Dutch, in the versions current when the monument was inaugurated in 1930. Those texts no longer match the anthem as sung today, and no German stanzas appear, although German is a national language and the East Cantons joined Belgium under the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.

The monument sits on Surlet de Chokier Square near Madou metro station, making it accessible by public transport. The square occupies a central location in the Pentagon District and is an easy walk from Brussels' main areas.

The 1918 plaster original stood on the Grand-Place in front of the Maison des Ducs de Brabant, its base bearing only the motto "Le Roi, la Loi, la Liberté !" with cannon debris and broken chains at its foot. It stayed from November 1918 to February 1919, then was moved to the Parc de Bruxelles in 1920 before the bronze replacement was cast.
