Justus Lipsius Building
The Justus Lipsius building, located in Brussels, Belgium, was the headquarters of the Council of the European Union from 1995, and the de facto home of the European Council from 2002, until their relocation to the adjacent newly constructed Europa building at the beginning of 2017.
Located in a central area of the city, the Lipsius building hosts the faculty of humanities of the University of Leiden. The building took the name of Justus Lipsius, a sixteenth century Flemish philosopher and humanist who spent the most productive part of his academic life at the University of Leiden.
