La tour noire, vestige de la première enceinte de Bruxelles

Bizarre, vous avez dit bizarre ?

La tour noire de Bruxelles. Bien curieux endroit que celui-ci. Enclavé et encadré par un hôtel on ne peut plus contemporain, ce vestige d’une tour médiévale ! Encore une histoire belge ? On n’en n’est pas loin.

Question défense historique

Mais tout d’abord un mot quand même sur cette tour, même si je consacre par ailleurs un article complet sur la première enceinte. La tour noire faisait donc partie de la première fortification de la ville, érigée sous Lambert II, au début du XIIe. siècle. C’est le fidèle et rigoureusement suivi du tracé qui fait l’objet de la visite guidée Bruxelles médiéval . Il permet ainsi de se rendre compte de ce qu’était l’ensemble de l’étendue et du relief de la ville à l’époque.

Mais je m’égare, revenons à la tour noire de Bruxelles. Elle faisait donc partie du système défensif de la ville, parmi les 40 autres tours qui composaient la première enceinte de Bruxelles.

Ces tours étaient réparties tous les cinquante mètres environ, afin de permettre un tir croisé d’arbalètes sur les éventuels envahisseurs de la ville. Les murs avaient une épaisseur entre 2,3 et 3 mètres. Tout ce système devint bien évidemment insuffisant à la fois en fonction de l’accroissement de la population urbaine et des progrès en armement. Ce qui explique qu’assez rapidement, la ville de Bruxelles se dota d’une seconde enceinte, moins de trois siècles plus tard.

Bruxelles - Bruxelles-Capitale

La tour Noire se dresse fièrement, l'un des vestiges les mieux préservés de la première enceinte de Bruxelles, érigée au début du XIIIe siècle. Nichée derrière l'église Sainte-Catherine, elle témoigne avec grandeur du passé médiéval de la ville.

La tour Noire, témoin immuable du passé médiéval de Bruxelles , a connu une évolution fascinante à travers les siècles. Probablement devenue propriété privée lors de la construction de la seconde enceinte de la ville à la fin du XIVe siècle, elle a miraculeusement survécu à la démolition de la première enceinte derrière l’église Sainte-Catherine en 1564, lors de l’aménagement de nouveaux bassins portuaires.

Transformée en taverne au XVIe siècle sous le nom d’« In de Toren », elle a été préservée de la destruction en 1888 grâce à l’initiative du bourgmestre Charles Buls, fervent défenseur du patrimoine bruxellois. Restaurée par l’architecte Victor Jamaer, la tour a retrouvé sa splendeur d’antan, ornée d’un pignon à gradins et d’une toiture conique.

Histoire de la première enceinte de Bruxelles

La première enceinte de Bruxelles, édifiée au début du XIIIe siècle, révèle ses secrets grâce à des documents anciens et des vestiges préservés. Longue de quatre kilomètres, elle enveloppe l’île Saint-Géry et les collines du Treurenberg, abritant les premières structures urbaines et religieuses de la ville. Construite avec des matériaux solides, elle comportait des tours de défense, des portes d’accès et un fossé inondable, constituant ainsi une fortification imposante.

Dès le XIIIe siècle, des actes mentionnent l’existence de cette enceinte, dont le tracé est encore débattu par les historiens. Plus tard, la ville se développa au-delà de ces murs, menant à la construction d’une seconde enceinte.

Black Tower Tour Noire

A mighty medieval tower hidden away in the urban centre of Brussels

Once there was a mighty wall that defended Brussels in the medieval era. It was the first major wall around Brussels. The Black Tower is one of the few remaining pieces of that wall.

Hidden behind the Sainte-Catherine Church and on the back of a hotel, Black Tower is an interesting sight to see while you’re strolling through the city centre of Brussels. It’s just a 10 minute stroll from the Grand Place of Brussels!

The tower is totally surrounded by more modern buildings, so it looks like it accidentally fell out of a fairy tale world into the modern day. Black Tower dates back to the 13th century, though it’s been out of use for hundreds of years.

You can’t actually go inside Black Tower! It’s there as a monument and photo spot. There’s some benches nearby where locals and tourists take a break on a city stroll.

• We’ve seen people and kids climb up a bit, but we don’t recommend this for safety reasons.
• There’s a plaque near the base of the tower that tells you about its history
• Brussels is the birthplace of the comic strip. What does that have to do with Black Tower? Well, the tower is featured in The Adventures of Nero by Marc Sleen in a story called De Zwarte Toren (The Black Tower).

Tips and Tricks

• While you can’t go inside, you can walk a little bit around the tower as it’s not attached to the hotel building. You’ll get a better view of the windows and stairs around the sides.

Getting There

• By Metro: 4 min walk from De Brouckère metro station. Metros 1 and 5 stop here
• By Tram: 4 min walk from De Brouckère tram stop. Trams 3, 4 and 5 stop here
• By Bus: close to bus stop Brussel Brouckère P58. Buses 126, 127 and 128 stop here

Hidden Gems & Secret Spots in Brussels You Should Know About

Last Updated on 9th December 2023 by Sophie Nadeau

Scratch beneath the surface, and you’ll soon discover that Brussels has much more to offer visitors than just a handful of art museums and cobbled lanes. Here’s your ultimate guide to the best of hidden gems and secret spots in Brussels you must know about before visiting for the first time.

If you’re thinking about seeing a lot of attractions and monuments while in Brussels, Consider purchasing the Brussels City Card , which includes free access to 49 museums in Brussels.

To work out whether or not the pass is worth it for you or not, add up the cost of the individual attractions you wish to visit and see if you’ll save money. Find more details here.

As the capital city of Belgium, Brussels is a must-see on many a visitor to Europe’s bucket list, particularly when it comes to the Grand Place and Manneken Pis, a tiny statue of a boy peeing into a fountain!

The city also happens to be home to some of the best Christmas Markets in Belgium during the winter and is also a great place from which to take day trips to explore the rest of the pint-sized country… If you only have a short time to explore, here’s a one day in Brussels itinerary , which we’ve suggested as part of our wider Belgium itinerary .

Sandwiched between the Netherlands, France, and Germany, Belgium often misses out on much of the press it deserves in favour of its more famous neighbours.

But if you take the time to visit the tiny country for yourself, you’ll soon discover that there’s plenty more to discover beyond Tin Tin, French fries (yes, they come from Belgium!), and waffles.

After all, Belgium has the most castles per square kilometre in the world and remains somewhat of an off the beaten path when it comes to Western European travel. For more Belgium wanderlust, check out this guide to the best-kept secrets of Belgium . Otherwise, read on to discover the best of secret spots in Brussels…

Brussels Cathedral Crypt

Garderobe manneken pis, statue of everard t’serclaes, grand place, 12th-century la tour de villers, carillon of the mont des arts, black tower, st. catherine’s church, birthplace of audrey hepburn, musical instruments museum, zinneke pis (het zinneke), invader street art, ancient city wall remnant, l’impasse saint-nicolas, visit the bourse, map of the best hidden gems of brussels, enjoyed reading about the best hidden gems and secret spots in brussels pin this article now, read it again later:, best hidden gems of brussels.

Of course, no one can claim that Brussels Cathedral is a hidden gem by any scratch of the imagination! Given cathedral status in the early 1960s, the ecclesiastical building is dedicated to St Michael and St Gudula. The cathedral also happens to be one of the best places to visit when it rains in Brussels.

What began as a chapel in the 9th-century was expanded over the centuries and the building you see today largely dates from between the 11th and 15th-centuries, with the grand front façade and towers dating back to 1485.

But what many visitors to Brussels Cathedral miss out on the fact that you can actually visit part of the crypt for a nominal fee of just €1. Insert a coin into the turnstile and you’ll soon descend into the depths of the cathedral underbelly, where you can spy the ruinous walls of the original Romanesque church.

If you’ve ever received a postcard from Brussels, then no doubt you’ll have seen the teeny tiny fountain that is Manneken Pis. The statue of the urinating boy measures just over 60 cm in height and has since become a symbol for the city, with keychains, t-shirts, and other souvenirs plastered with the 17th-century designed statue.

The actual statue is now held in the Brussels City Museum for preservation purposes and the one that can be seen on the side of the street is an exact replica dating back to 1965. But what is perhaps most amusing is that the statue is dressed in different outfits on a regular basis, a tradition that dates back as far as the 18th-century.

Today, you can visit an entire small museum dedicated to the statue’s wardrobe. If you’re planning on visiting a lot of attractions during your stay in the city, you might consider purchasing a Brussels Card , which includes free admission to over 40 museums (including the GardeRobe Manneken Pis).

When leaving the illustrious Grand Place to head towards the Manneken Pis statue, I soon noticed that many visitors and locals alike were touching the bronze statue of Everard t’Serclaes for good luck.

It’s also said that rubbing the statue’s arm will ensure that one will return to Brussels one day! To the Belgians, t’Serclaes represents freedom, liberty, and the defense of those rights. You see, during the 14th-century, the count of Flanders seized the city following the death of John III of Brabant.

However, Everard scaled the walls of the city one night, together with a group of fellow Brussels residents, and drove the Flemings away from the city. The worn bronze statue that’s visible today dates back to the 19th-century, when it was created to commemorate t’Serclaes’ efforts.

The vestiges of the former medieval walls of historic Brussels can still be spied, if only you know where to look. La Tour de Villers is also known as Tour Saint-Jacques.

The tower dates all the way back to the 13th-century, when a wall would have encircled the entirety of the medieval city. Though in a fairly residential area, nearby, I particularly loved GRUUN, a coffee shop that specialises in both plants and coffee!

One of the more iconic views to be found anywhere in Brussels is that of Mont des Arts, a high up hill that overlooks the rest of the city.

The Carillon of the Mont des Arts district of Brussels features twenty four bells and is the most iconic timepiece in Brussels. The exterior of the Carillon is to be found on the side of the Palais de la Dynastie and features a clock in the form of a star which was designed by Jules Ghobert.

Each hour is represented by a painted figurine and on the hour, a figurine will move to a cacophony of carillon bells. Of all the secret spots in Brussels, this was by far the least expected and one I simply stumbled upon quite by accident!

Situated in the shadow of the 19th-century built St. Catherine’s Church, Black Tower is a medieval turret that looks like it’s been plucked straight out of a fairytale.

Surrounded by incredibly modern apartment blocks, the ‘Tour Noire’ as it is so-called in French is the sole surviving tower of the 13th-century fortifications that once encircled Brussels.

When the fortifications were modified and expanded during the 14th-century, the Black Tower no longer fit within the walls and fell out of use as a guard tower.

Historians theorise that from that point onwards, the tower became a private residence and it is probably for this reason that it has survived intact right up until modern times.

Though simply a residential building today, you’ll know you’re in the right place when you spy throngs of tourists gathered outside, all snapping photos of this otherwise unremarkable building.

After all, 48 Rue Keyenveld is to be found in the Ixelles neighbourhood of Brussels and is where iconic actress Audrey Hepburn was born in 1929.

Though Hepburn spent the first five years of her life in the building, there is little to see apart from a plaque and I would not prioritise this Brussels hidden gem if you’re short on time and wish to maximise your sightseeing opportunities while in the Belgian capital.

Though not so much of a ‘hidden gem’ as some of the other Brussels attractions contained within this article, one of the more unusual things to do in Brussels is to visit the Musical Instruments Museum, which is to be found within the Mont des Arts neighbourhood.

Set against the backdrop of a steel and glass Art Nouveau building that was formerly used as the flagship store for the Old England Department store, today the museum boasts a collection of over 8000 instruments. Created in the mid 19th-century, rarest of all in the collections is the only surviving luthéal, a type of hybrid piano.

Perhaps thanks to the popularity of Manneken Pis, there is now an entire subculture of urinating statues that has emerged as a result of the original tiny statue!

As well as a 1980s creation of Jeanneke Pis, a urinating sister for Manneken Pis, there is also a urinating dog statue, which was erected in 1998. For more information, check out our guide to the unique statues of Brussels.

If you’ve ever visited the French capital city of Paris, then you’ll likely have discovered the many mosaic street art pieces that can be found scattered across the city. Invader is an anonymous artist who creates beautiful pieces which can be ‘flashed’ on an app similar to ‘catching Pokemon’.

Though the largest concentration of Invader pieces can be found in Paris, Invader has ‘invaded’ other cities in ‘waves’, whereby the artist has installed mosaics in different locations across the world. In Brussels, there are 40 unique street art pieces to discover.

A hidden gem that’s a little further out of the historic city centre and so one that you’ll likely only discover if you’re walking towards the Bruxelles-Midi (Brussel-Zuid) station is a piece of city wall that’s particularly well preserved. Complete with its very own turret, the piece of former city wall can be found on Boulevard de l’Emprereur close to Crosly Bowling.

One of the coolest little alleyways that my friends and I managed to stumble upon during our most recent trip to Brussels was L’impasse Saint-Nicolas, which is situated just off of the boulevard of Rue du Marché aux Herbes.

Head through the neo-Baroque door frame in a hole in the wall and you’ll be able to wander through the brick-lined passageway. The most interesting feature within the passage is the bar of ‘Aux Bon Vieux Temps,’ which boasts religious-themed imagery throughout the drinking establishment and dates all the way back to 1695, making it one of the oldest bars in Brussels.

If you want to enjoy some gorgeous neo-Classical architecture in a free space, then you simply need to head to the Bourse, i.e. the former Stock Exchange. This public space boasts an interior gallery and even a café where you can enjoy a coffee while admiring the architecture.

If you head to the top floor (via a lift to the side of the building), then you can experience the rooftop bar. As well as selling a number of beers and other drinks, the bar boasts an outdoor terrace offering views onto the Christmas Markets below (if you’re visiting during the winter), as well as onto Grand Place and as far away as the Cathedral.

Top 10 Things To Do And See In Sainte Catherine, Brussels

The vibrant Sainte Catherine is a must-see area of Brussels — a well-suited match of old style and new vibes. Located just a stone’s throw from the Grand Place, it is a paradise for seafood lovers and for those who are looking for a lively and alternative spot in the heart of the Belgian capital.

Walk Around The Quais

Quai du Commerce, Quai aux Briques, Quai du Bois a Brûler, Quai aux Pierre de Tailles are the most common streets around Sainte Catherine. But what does ‘ quai ‘ mean? It literally means dock or wharf. What used to be the location of the ancient port of Brussels has left traces in the toponymy in this neighborhood, and not only that. Place Sainte-Catherine has also been long known as Vismet, namely the fish market. Although the fishermen no longer sell their products there, the market still preserves its origins since seafood reigns supreme on the menus at the restaurants in the area — the best ones in the city.

Taste some of de noordzee's specialities, spot the tour noire.

Brussels is surely known as a modern city, but it still withholds some of its medieval treasures. La Tour Noire — in English ‘The black tower’ — is an example of what is left of Brussels’ 13th-century first city walls. Situated right behind Sainte Catherine’s Church, it became a tavern called ‘In de Toren’ in the 16th century and risked demolition at the end of the 19th century. It is now surrounded by a modern hotel, but its exterior can still be admired from the street, allowing you to picture its medieval effect.

La Belle Maraîchère

One spot cannot be missed once in Sainte Catherine, and that is La Belle Maraîchère . Situated in a lovely building from 1759, the menu will satisfy every taste, and those who do pass by this neighborhood should stop here for fish or lobster soup. It will be difficult to resist what comes next.

Visit The Enchanted Christmas Markets

Last but not least, this is a real treat to the eye of every Christmas lover and an amazing event for every age. Place Sainte-Catherine is the epicenter of the Brussels Christmas Market ; the wooden chalets on the sides of the Vismet are ready to charm you with their spicy hot wine, hot rum with honey and countless gourmet dishes — from the typical Belgian waffles and salmon to meat and Italian delicacies. Curiously enough, a spacious Swiss chalet stands out in the middle of the square; inside, Swiss traditional fondues can be tasted together with some renowned wine. The picture can only be completed with a ride in the magnificent Ferris wheel, which gives the opportunity to admire, from above, a breathtaking Brussels illuminated by the Christmas decorations.

La tour noire

Au centre de Bruxelles, un groupe d’enfants questionne la mémoire bruxelloise de la Tour noire, ancien vestige des murs de la ville, imbriqué dans la construction du « Novotel ». Par des jeux de paroles et d’écritures, le théâtre et le dessin, les enfants réagissent librement de manière imaginative et racontent, vu de leur présent, une histoire de ce patrimoine.

Description

Novotel Brussels City Centre

Hotel that makes every moment matter

Set your bags down and unwind at Novotel. Novotel Brussels City Centre is a family friendly hotel, overlooking Saint Catherine church and is situated just 5 minutes walk away from the famous Grand Place. Natural light and minimalist design make your comfortable room a haven for working or relaxing. Full-length windows and delicious choices at Novotels breakfast buffet get your day off to a bright start. You will immediately feel at home at Novotel.

Novotel Brussels City Centre is located in the heart of Brussels, from where all the city's attractions are within easy reach. Walk across to Manneken Pis, visit the Grand Place and admire the impressive art collections in the Magritte Museum. A special structure you cannot miss is the Atomium in Heysel Park, which was built for the 1958 World Fair. Comic strip fans can't miss the Belgian Comic Strip Center or the Museum of Original Figurines. In Brussels there are enough things to explore.

Our hotel is located right in the heart of the city centre and is easy to reach by public transport. You will find numerous metro, tram and bus stations in the surroundings. Brussels central train station is just 10 minutes walking from the hotel.

The staff and I would like to welcome you to Novotel Brussels City Centre. The hotel is beautifully located in the Centre of Brussels, which makes it easy to explore the city and end your day with a Burger at our GourmetBar.

Surprise Birthday Celebration at Novotel: A Truly Memorable Experience

Komal J. Couples - 9/3/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

Our first stay at Novotel turned out to be a truly delightful experience that exceeded our expectations. Located in the heart of Brussels city centre, the hotel is perfectly situated, with many of the city's major attractions just a short walk away. This made exploring the vibrant city incredibly convenient and enjoyable. I had made a special request in advance for a surprise birthday celebration for my wife, hoping to make the occasion memorable. The hotel staff not only fulfilled my request with great attention to detail but also went above and beyond by surprising us with additional thoughtful gestures. They presented us with gifts and complimentary drinks, which added a personal touch to our stay and made the celebration even more special. The entire experience reflected the hotel’s commitment to excellent service and hospitality. The staff's warm and considerate actions truly made our stay at Novotel a memorable one.
