Berlaymont building

The Berlaymont building, or simply the Berlaymont (French pronunciation: [bɛʁlɛmɔ̃]), is an office building in Brussels, Belgium, which houses the headquarters of the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union (EU). The structure is located on the Robert Schuman Roundabout at 200, rue de la Loi/Wetstraat, in the European Quarter. The unique form of the Berlaymont's architecture is used in the European Commission's official emblem. The building is named after the former Convent of the Ladies of Berlaymont, which occupied the site.
