There’s nothing quaint or small about the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken. A lavish royal estate that is stunningly punctuated with magnificent heated greenhouses, the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken were built by King Leopold II of Belgium in the late 19th Century. The Royal Greenhouses are arguably the most impressive of King Leopold’s projects and quite possibly the most extravagant as well. Built sometime in between 1884 and 1886, this royal estate houses 30 pavilions, all of which are connected the main draw of the entire estate – the Winter Gardens. The Winter Gardens are absolutely impressive and are found within the spectacular glass dome that towers over the rest of the royal grounds.
