Guided interior visit of Palace of Justice (tour in english)

Visit the largest courthouse in the world !

In the 19th century, the Palace of Justice was the largest building constructed in Europe. More than 140 years later, its dome still dominates the Brussels skyline. The man behind it, Joseph Poelaert (1817-1879), was a stubborn jack-of-all-trades who refused to adhere to any fixed style. His unbridled dedication drove him to exhaustion, and he was unable to complete his gigantic design himself. The people of Brussels meaningfully called him the 'Schieven architect' – and that was not a compliment.
