EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and history of Laeken, Belgium, showcasing the Japanese House at the foot of the Pagoda. Commissioned by King Leopold II in 1912, these buildings are a true masterpiece of architectural design. The halls are adorned with intricate Louis XIV and Louis XVI style decorations, featuring oriental motifs, chinaware, and silverware that add to the overall charm of this residential suburb in north-west Brussels.
The Japanese Tower stands tall as a pagoda-inspired structure that was inspired by a similar construction King Leopold II saw at the Paris Exposition of 1900. Enamored by its beauty, he enlisted architect Alexandre Marcel to build him one just like it in Laeken. The result is a breathtaking blend of Belgian history and Japanese influence that continues to captivate visitors to this day.
As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but be transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount. The rich cultural heritage embodied in these structures serves as a reminder of Belgium's royal past and its enduring legacy for generations to come.
