rue montoyer
Rue Montoyer is one of the first extensions out of the former city centre, decided in 1835 by Ferdinand de Meeûs. The street was opened in 1838 and creates a junction between the city centre (from the Palais des Académies) and Parc Léopold (which was historically home to a zoological garden and a library, among others).
Did you know that Rue Montoyer refers to the architect Louis-Joseph Montoyer who lived from 1749 to 1811. He designed among others the Théâtre Royal du Parc, 16 Rue de la Loi (the Prime Minister ‘s office) and the Manoir de Schoonenberg (Château de Laeken).
