Brussels - Maison du Roi (Broodhuis) 
|
|
Opposite the Hôtel de Ville stands the Maison du Roi which, despite its name, was never a royal residence. The king in question was the king of Spain and the "maison" was in fact the law courts. Directly in front is the spot where executions were carried out. The Maison's 13th C. predecessor was a building known as the Broodhuis (Bread House), appropriately enough since bread was indeed sold there for a time.
