Looking at the King's House, it is hard to imagine that in the 12th century a wooden building where bread was sold was exactly in this place. Maison du Roi has never been a royal seat, and now the City Museum is located in this 16th-century palace. Visitors can admire exhibitions devoted to ceramics and silverware.
Maison du Roi was founded in the 16th century on the order of the Duke of Brabant as a sign of his reign. The building was only a symbol, because no ruler had ever lived there, but in its history it hosted many distinguished personalities. It received its current appearance as a result of the reconstruction from 1894.
Here you can see stylish furniture, ceramics and everyday objects. It is also worth seeing a collection of over 700 costumes in which a figurine of a peeing boy from the Manneken Pis fountain was dressed. In the evenings, beautiful "light and sound" shows take place above the palace.
