The Egmont Palace, also sometimes known as the Arenberg Palace, is a neoclassical palace in Brussels, Belgium. It was originally built between 1548 and 1560 for Countess Françoise of Luxembourg and Count Lamoral of Egmont, though its appearance was heavily modified in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was partly destroyed by fire in 1892, after which it was once again reconstructed. Nowadays, it is used by the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for receptions, as a guest house and conference centre.
The palace is situated in the Sablon/Zavel district, between the Rue aux Laines/Wolstraat and the Square du Petit Sablon/Kleine Zavelsquare. This site is served by Porte de Namur/Naamsepoort metro station, as well as the tram stop Petit Sablon/Kleine Zavel.
