Chinese Pagoda






Have you ever been to Laeken? If yes, have you ever wondered what is that big red tower ? I am pretty sure you did. It's nothing else than the Chinese Pagoda. 
Like the buildings at the Mont des Art (see my post about MIM) the tower was built at the end of the 20th century at the request of king Leopold II, who had been attracted by similar buildings in Paris.
For the ones who would like to see this nice attraction, you can find it at approximately 1 km distance from Heysel stadium, on avenue van Praet.
