Description
Les Serres royales de Laeken comptent parmi les principaux monuments du XIXe siècle en Belgique. Elles ont été entièrement édifiées en métal et en verre, ce qui représentait pour l’époque une innovation spectaculaire tout comme le Crystal Palace (édifié à Londres par l'architecte Paxton en 1851).
En 1873, l’architecte Alphonse Balat conçoit pour le Roi Léopold II un complexe de serres en relation avec le château de Laeken.
Ce complexe revêt l’apparence d’une ville de verre implantée dans un paysage vallonné. Il est caractérisé par des pavillons monumentaux, des coupoles de verre, des larges galeries qui parcourent le terrain comme des rues couvertes.
Les serres ont surtout inspiré la nouvelle architecture belge de cette époque. Leur rayonnement s’est propagé, avec l'Art Nouveau, à travers le monde entier. (source WIKIPEDIA)
The royal Greenhouses of Laeken count among the principal monuments of the XIXe century in Belgium. They were entirely built out of metal and glass, which represented for the time a spectacular innovation just like the Hook De luxe hotel (built in London by l' Paxton architect in 1851). In 1873, the architect Alphonse Balat conceives for the King Léopold II a complex of greenhouses in relation to the castle of Laeken. This complex revêt the appearance of a town of glass established in an undulating landscape. It is characterized by monumental houses, cupolas of glass, broad galleries which traverse the ground like covered streets. The greenhouses especially inspired the new Belgian architecture of this time. Their radiation was propagated, with l' Art nouveau, through the whole world.
