They make a startling sight on the outskirts of Brussels: a tall red 'Japanese' tower and the nearby 'Chinese' pavilion. Were these exotic buildings, created in the early 1900s by Leopold II and his favourite architect Alexandre Marcel, just a monarch's whimsy, or part of some greater plan? Drawing on unpublished archives and handsomely illustrated with modern and period photographs, paintings, sketches and blueprints, this study traces the buildings' planning and construction, their decay between the wars, and subsequent restoration.
