🏗️ Restoration Works
Since March 2025, restoration work led by the Buildings Agency has been underway to restore the neo-Gothic roof of the Halle Gate. The project is expected to last around two years, until September 2026. During this period, the attic and walkway are not accessible to visitors.
Although thousands of people pass every day near this remaining section of the second surrounding wall of Brussels, along the petite ceinture between Place Louise and Midi Station, very few are aware of its eventful history. This fairytale-like monument, more than 600 years old, is in fact the most remarkable witness to the city’s medieval past. After extensive renovation, the Halle Gate now houses a permanent exhibition dedicated to medieval Brussels.
