About De Beurs/La Bourse
The "purse" of Brussels was made by a declaration of none other than Napoleon in 1801, yet the building that as of now houses Belgium's stock trade was not intended for an additional six decades. Development started on the site of a previous butter market, which already had been a Franciscan religious community. Following five long stretches of development, the lined neo-Renaissance building was finished in 1873. It ran consistently as the Bourse for the following 127 years, yet in September of 2000, the Brussels stock trade converged with the trades in Paris and Amsterdam to shape EuroNext. Within the building, which incorporates workmanship by Auguste Rodin, Guillaume de Groot, and French artist Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse must be visited by appointment, and a guide will give a visit to a gathering of at least 20.

a beautiful building, if you wait 2more years, you can visit inside..
The Bourse of Brussels is the stock exchange of the country. While a handsome neoclassical building in itself, the Bourse marks the border between the old town center and the more modern district of the city with many chain clothing outlets and fast food restaurants along Boulevard Anspach.
While we were walking passed through this building, it is very attractive and the guide said it is a stock exchange company and did not said it is 'purse' and build in Napoleon time. So we just passed through and did not spot it.
Despite appearances, this IS the Brussels Stock Exchange. The Scottish Bagpiper just happened to wander out of the (excellent) Irish pub, O'Reilly's. Apparently, Rodin himself worked on some of the elaborate sculptures that adorn the building. The Grand Place is only 100 meters away.
Used to play a much more important role in Belgium's economy before European integration, and most stock trading went digital. Nevertheless, it is still an interesting visit.
Used to live in Brussels for a couple of years!
Securities market trading center, the building is steady and elegant.
This is where the stock exchange used to be. The buildings are very European.
De Beurs 是 19世纪兴建的证券交易所，它位于 St. Nicholas Church 的旁边。从外观已经看出它的历史背景，可惜进不了里面参观。
布鲁塞尔证券交易所于1801年由拿破仑下令建立，位于布鲁塞尔大广场的西北侧。2000年9月22日与巴黎证券交易所、里斯本证券交易所以及阿姆斯特丹证券交易所合并，建立泛欧交易所，并更名为布鲁塞尔泛欧交所（Euronext Brussels）。
