🏗️ Restoration Works
Since March 2025, restoration work has been underway, led by the Buildings Agency, to return the neo-Gothic roof of the Halle Gate to its former glory. The project is expected to last two years.
As a result, the attic and walkway of the building have been inaccessible since March and will remain closed until winter 2027.

Although thousands of people pass every day close to this remaining part of the second surrounding wall of Brussels, along the "petite ceinture" between the Place Louise and the Midi Station, very few of them are conscious of its eventful history. This fairytale monument, more than 600 years old is in fact the most remarkable witness of the City's medieval past. After renovation work, the Halle Gate houses now a permanent presentation dedicated to the medieval City of Brussels.
