The Résidence Palace is a complex of buildings between the
Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat and the Chaussée d’Etterbeek/Etterbeeksesteenweg in the
European Quarter of
Brussels. It is formed of three buildings, a press centre and a building currently being renovated for use by the
European Council, mainly, and even also (for some occasions) by the
Council of the European Union as a summit building. This new building will be named
Europa. To the west lies the main Council building,
Justus Lipsius and across the road lie the
Berlaymont and
Charlemagne buildings of the
European Commission.
