About

Only the most "experienced" tourists, those who have visited every corner of Brussels and stumbled upon it quite by accident, know about the Halle Gate. In fact, the Halle Gate is the only surviving part of the second city wall, which today serves as a museum.

Inside the so-called "gates," there are never many visitors. There is a tall spiral staircase within the building, up which soldiers, guards, monks, and even kings once climbed. It leads to the very top, where there is an observation deck offering a breathtaking view of the surroundings. A branch of the Royal Museum of History and Art operates within the walls of the structure, featuring an exhibition that includes a multitude of ancient weapons.

Surprenante découverte à proximité de la gare et dans un parc, cette construction ressemblant à un château médiéval. Belle surprise.

Musée sympa et très peu cher, visite se faisant en 1h-1h30 si vous prenez vraiment le temps. Audioguides répétant plus ou moins ce qui est déjà écrit sur les panneaux. Dommage que la façade extérieure soit en rénovation en ce moment, nous empêchant d'accéder au beau panorama.

El lugar parece estar en mantenimiento. La vegetación está crecida alrededor. Pareciera como si se olvidaron de esta parte y la abandonaron.
