The so-called Berlaymont building houses the headquarters of the European Commission. Built in 1967, its asymmetrical cross shape and underlying esplanade are typical of the 1960s. A curiosity is that only its central axis touches the ground! Emptied in 1991, renovated from 1995 to 2004, it was cleared of asbestos before returning to its original function. The Berlaymont owes its name to the convent of canonesses founded in 1625 and which moved in 1962. It is located on the edge of the Schuman roundabout, from where it offers its most beautiful views.

Longtemps la risée du tout Bruxelles pour la lenteur de ses travaux de réhabilitation et source de discorde entre la ville et la Commission (ce fut ensuite le tour de la gare et station de métro Schuman), il est bel et bien fini et visitable en juin, le jour de la journée de l'Europe.
