A princely residence had dominated the city of Brussels on Coudenberg hill since the Middle Ages. Developed as of the 12th century, this architectural ensemble was one of the finest palaces of Europe and one of the main residences of Charles V.
This prestigious building was damaged extensively in a fire that broke out in February 1731. Forty years later, the ruins of the palace were razed and levelled to make room for the Place Royal district.
The archaeological remnants of this building constitute the archaeological site of Coudenberg.
At the end of 2008, Inytium was entrusted with the task of installing new lighting equipment to show off the site to greater advantage.
