Bust of Baudouin, Bronze monument near Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, Brussels, Belgium.
The bronze statue of King Baudouin stands in front of Brussels Cathedral, marking the entrance with its carefully detailed representation.
The statue, unveiled in 1996, commemorates King Baudouin who led Belgium from 1951 to 1993 through periods of social transformation.
This monument represents the deep connection between the Belgian monarchy and the Catholic faith, positioned at the cathedral's entrance.
The statue maintains wheelchair accessibility through wide pathways and smooth surfaces, allowing visitors to observe it from multiple angles.
During protests in June 2020, the statue became a focal point when protesters covered it in red paint, leading to restoration efforts.
