The Royal Palace in the center of Brussels, Belgium. Built in 1904 for King Leopold II Palais Royal. Place des Palais. (From mid-June to mid-September from 09:00 to 17:00). Parc. Tel. 02 551 2020. Until 1731, this was the site of the former Ducal Palace, burned and replaced by two family residences built by the architect Louis Montoyer. The works were completed in 1829 and resumed in 1862 during the reign of the Duke of Brabant, future King Leopold II. The building was extended and modified interior decoration by the architect Balat. Currently it is not used as a royal residence since the King and his family live in the Royal Castle of Laeken, on the outskirts of Brussels. It is interesting to watch the changing of the guard that occurs several times a day.
