Under the auspices of Minerva, this second weekend of the Brussels Neo-Classical Biennale (BBN) plunges you into the development of Brussels outside its city walls during the 1850s.

On Sunday, you'll travel along the wide boulevards laid out on the site of the second set of city walls to the Porte de Louvain. There you'll explore the interior of the former Charlier house, a huge mansion dating back to 1844 that was redesigned by Victor Horta in 1892! Then you'll travel along Chaussée de Louvain to arrive at the heights of the Linthout plateau, where you'll follow a guided tour of the beautiful former Villa Lunden country house!
