Square Ambiorix - Ambiorixsquare

Square Ambiorix - Ambiorixsquare, Garden square in European Quarter, Brussels.

Square Ambiorix is a garden square laid out in the 1880s by landscape architect Edmond Galoppin on Gédéon Bordiau's plan for Brussels' north-east extension. Its long composition combines straight paths, lawns, ponds and flowerbeds in a geometric, French-inspired design. At the head of a stepped stone water feature, three bronze allegories by Jacques de Lalaing stand on pale pedestals between clipped hedges.

The square was laid out in the 1880s by landscape architect Edmond Galoppin, following the development plan drawn by architect Gédéon Bordiau and approved by royal decree in 1875. It received its name in 1877. The surrounding residential district was built between about 1890 and 1910, and from the mid-20th century some townhouses gave way to apartment and office buildings.

Bronze sculptures by Jacques de Lalaing represent three stages of humanity with figures positioned around the main pond. These works shape how people experience the space and invite reflection as they walk through it.

The square is easily accessible by public transportation with several bus lines serving nearby stops from different directions. Visitors can walk through the entire space comfortably thanks to well-maintained pathways and clear sight lines throughout.

The bronze figures around the central basin are by Jacques de Lalaing (1858–1917) and represent three ideas: the barbarous element, refined civilisation and organised society. A bust of Ambiorix stands in front of the apartment block at number 23; it originally adorned a mansion demolished in 1969.
