The majestic interior with its imposing proportions was designed by Alphonse Balat for King Leopold II. The pale walls and stone columns, the white marble of the vast staircase, the green marble of the ramp, the gilding, mirrors and bay windows, and the marble Minerva contribute to the harmony of the whole.
The Large Anti-chamber dates from the Dutch period when the North and South of the Netherlands were united into one Kingdom after the Battle of Waterloo with the accession of King William I to the throne (1815-1830). The political history is depicted on the frieze that adorns the contours of the room. The suspended portraits of Prince Leopold of Sa...
