Halle Gate

Since March, 2025, the Belgian Buildings Agency carries out renovation works of the neo-Gothic roof of the Halle Gate to bring it back to its former glory. As a result, the attic and the rampart walk are not accessible anymore until the winter of 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.
