Granvelle Palace

Bruxelles - Brussel, Italy

The Granvelle Palace (French: Palais Granvelle; Dutch: Granvellepaleis) was a 16th-century Renaissance palace in Brussels, Belgium. It was originally built for Cardinal Archbishop Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle and was located in the former Putterie/Putterij district, between the Rue des Sols/Stuiver

sstraat and the Rue de l'Impératrice/Keizerinstraat, near today's Brussels-Central railway station. The deeply redesigned Granvelle Palace served as the main seat of the Free University of Brussels between 1842 and 1928. It was demolished in 1931 to make way for the North–South connection, a major railway link through central Brussels. The Ravenstein Gallery was built on its site.
