Leopold II

Local nameLéopold II - Leopold II
LocationPentagon, Brussels

The equestrian statue of Leopold II is a bronze equestrian statue erected in Brussels, Belgium, in memory of King Leopold II, second King of the Belgians. It was created by the sculptor Thomas Vinçotte in 1914, but it was not finalised until 1926 by the architect François Malfait, when it was inaugurated in the king's honour.

The statue stands on the Place du Trône/Troonplein, to the south-east of the Royal Palace of Brussels, at the point where the Rue Ducale/Hertogsstraat joins the Boulevard du Régent/Regentlaan, and a few tens of metres from the Royal Stables of Brussels. It is also close to Matongé, an African district of Ixelles. This area is served by Brussels-Central railway station, as well as by the metro stations Parc/Park and Trône/Troon.
