In 2015, the last six Euronext traders departed, leaving it vacant until its renovation in 2023.

It was envisioned by Belgium’s first kings to create a “Royal District” on the Koekelberg plateau. Plans and sketches for its construction date back to the end of Leopold I’s reign. Nearly a century passed between the initial designs in the late 19th century and the building’s completion.

• Royal Palace of Brussels - The Royal Palace was constructed on the site of the former Palace of the Dukes of Brabant, which was destroyed by fire in 1731. Initiated in 1820 under King William’s reign, it was modified in 1904 under Leopold II, who had it rebuilt in the Louis XVI style.
