Le Cheval Marin

Le Cheval Marin (French) or Het Zeepaard (Dutch) (transl. The Seahorse) is a monumental corner building in Brussels, located at Rue du Marché aux Porcs/Varkensmarkt 25 and Quai aux Briques/Baksteenkaai 90. Originally dated by cartouches to 1680, it is a prominent example of traditional brick-and-sandstone architecture with Baroque elements. Until the late 19th century, it was regarded as the most striking building in the city's former harbour district.
