The Town Hall of Brussels, erected between 1401 and 1455 on the south side of the Grand-Place, stands as the only remaining medieval building on the square and a masterpiece of Brabantine Gothic architecture. Rising 96 metres, it was constructed over more than half a century by a succession of architects including Willem de Vogel, Jan van Ruysbroeck, and others who shaped its distinctive Flamboyant Gothic form. The structure was later modified with three classicist rear wings added during the 18th century, reflecting Louis XVI stylistic influences. Since 1998, the Town Hall has been recognized as part of the Grand-Place's UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. Today it serves as the seat of the Brussels municipality and remains a protected monument, situated opposite the neo-Gothic King's House.
