The Royal Palace of Laeken is the official residence of the Belgian royal family, located in the Laeken neighborhood of Brussels. Built in the 18th century, the palace features a blend of architectural styles, including neoclassical and eclectic elements. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens, known as the Laeken Park, which are open to the public during certain times of the year. The palace serves as a venue for official ceremonies and state functions. While the interior is not open to the public, the surrounding grounds and the nearby Royal Greenhouses of Laeken attract many visitors, especially during the spring bloom.
