Belvedere

Belvedere
   The Villa Belvedere was built in Laeken in 1788 and served as the country residence of the receiver-general of finances, Viscount Édouard Walckiers. It was acquired in 1854 by banker Philippe de Haussy. King Leopold II purchased it in 1867 and made improvements to the building. It became part of the royal properties (domaine royal ) in 1903. Further improvements have been undertaken, including the laying out of gardens and parterres.
