From Inn to Icon: The History of La Maison du Cygne
If its walls could talk, the silent, wood-panelled surfaces at La Maison would say a lot. They’d speak about the exciting events, occurrences and historical figures who graced its halls.
La Maison Du Cygne’s origins hint at humble beginnings. Believed to have started life as an inn, it was first built in the 1500s.
After being burned to the ground by the French military, the establishment rose from the ashes in the late 1600s. A rebuild that completely transformed La Maison du Cygne ensued. Dubbed “the jewel of elegance” due to its ornamental wealth, splendour, and unique architectural style, the grand building was, and still is, a sight to behold.
Like a feline, the venue has lived many different lives in the later years. It has changed ownership and had makeovers. It went from a private house into a cafe. Most notably, the venue became the meeting place of Marx and Engels. There, the two secretly hatched political theories over cigars and wine.
Fast forward to today, the historical event venue in Brussels boasts one of the city’s best restaurants. It offers a classic European dining experience in an elegant setting and hosts many high-end events and occasions. Could yours be the next?
