Chapelle de Nassau |
The Brabantine Gothic "Chapel of Nassau" is the only surviving vestige of the Hotel of Nassau, built for Henri of Nassau in the 16th century. It now functions as a catalog and reading room in the General Archives of the Kingdom. The quiet and serenity of the room's current use belie the tumultuous history of the Hotel of Nassau, a prize that was passed back and forth repeatedly by the Dutch, the Spanish, the Austrians, and the French during its early existence. Three large tapestries of Brussels, and a bas relief image of Henri by Georges Dobbels complement the chapel's architectural splendor.
