The Botanical Garden of Brussels (
French: Jardin botanique de Bruxelles,
Dutch: Kruidtuin van Brussel) is a former
botanical garden in
Brussels, Belgium. It was created in 1826 and stood on the
Rue Royale/Koningsstraat in
Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, near Brussels’
Northern Quarter financial district, until its relocation in 1938 to the
National Botanic Garden of Belgium in
Meise,
Flemish Brabant. Since 1984, the main
orangery building has been a cultural complex and music venue of the
French Community of Belgium known as
Le Botanique. It can be accessed from
Brussels-North railway station and
Botanique/Kruidtuin metro station on lines
