Built in 1381, the Hallepoort is the last vestige of the second belt around Brussels. From 1564 its military function disappeared. It became a grain loft, and later a Lutheran temple, a prison and a warehouse for archives.

In 1847, the Hallepoort also became one of the first museums of Europe, the 'Royal Museum of Armors, Antiques and Ethnology'. In the middle of the 20th century, the boulevards of the small ringway made their appearance. At that time, a vast green space was made for the local residents around the Hallepoort. These works were finished in 2000.
