Maison du Roi
History · Brussels
The King's House (French: Maison du Roi) or Bread House (Dutch: Broodhuis) is a historic building in Brussels, Belgium, housing the Brussels City Museum. It is located on the north side of the Grand-Place/Grote Markt (Brussels' main square), opposite the Town Hall.
Erected between 1504 and 1536 on the site of a former bread market, the King's House was rebuilt in the 19th century in its current neo-Gothic style by the architect Victor Jamaer. Since 1998, it has also been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as part of the square.
