Built between 1868 and 1873 by Léon-Pierre Suys, the Palais de la Bourse now houses a large nave open to the public. Restored and returned to public use in 2023, this monumental gallery allows you to walk through the building between the pedestrian area and the Grand-Place side. The grand hall is a meeting place and a place to discover heritage, accessible free of charge independently of the Belgian Beer World experience.
