An international recognition
European Heritage Label
The Coudenberg received the European Heritage Label in 2007. This award aims to promote sites that help present the idea of European heritage and that thereby contribute to strengthening the notion of a common European identity by promoting citizens’ feeling of belonging to a single European cultural area.
European Royal Residences Association
The Coudenberg is a member of the European Royal Residences Association since 2001.
This European network aims to promote our common European cultural heritage, and Coudenberg has already been recognised by its peers as occupying an essential place in European history.
The network unites the most prestigious and historic European palaces, including the Chateaux of Versailles and Chambord, the Royal Palaces of Turin, Piedmont, and Naples, Rosenborg Castle in Denmark, the Royal Palaces of Schönbrunn and the Hofburg in Vienna, the Royal Palace in Potsdam in Germany and Hampton Court Palace in England.
The main aim of the new European Royal Residences activity programme is to raise awareness of European heritage among a young audience.
With the support of the King Baudouin Foundation and the Belgian National Lottery.
