Benelux Fountain

Bruxelles - Brussel, Italy

The Benelux Fountain (French: Fontaine Benelux; Dutch: Beneluxfontein) is a public fountain located on the Boulevard du Centenaire/Eeuwfeestlaan in Laeken, Brussels, Belgium. It was designed by the Groupe Pyjama architectural firm for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair (Expo 58), and represents the coop

eration between the Benelux countries: Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The fountain is an example of post-war modernist architecture, featuring geometric forms and the use of exposed concrete. In 2021, the surrounding area was redeveloped and renamed the Place du Benelux/Beneluxplein, and in 2024, the fountain was listed on the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of the Brussels-Capital Region.
