Palais du Comte d'Egmont

Neoclassical palace on the Zavel/Sablon in Brussels (Belgium). Originally built between1548 and 1560 by Françoise of Luxembourg and her son, Lamoral, Count of Egmont, the building was drastically transformed during the 18th century when ownership passed to the House of Arenberg. In 1964 the palace was sold to the Belgian state and is currently used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and as a conference centre.
