Coudenberg
The Coudenberg (French) or Koudenberg (Dutch) is a street in the Pentagon, Brussels. Today, it runs from the Rue Ravenstein/Ravensteinstraat to the Rue Villa Hermosa/Villa Hermosastraat and forms only the surviving part of a once longer artery. It takes its name from the historic Coudenberg hill, associated with the former ducal palace. The toponym Coudenberg means "cold hill" (Latin: montus frigidus). It originally referred to the hill itself and more specifically to the medieval Steenweg continuing from the Rue du Marché aux Herbes/Grasmarkt and the Rue de la Madeleine/Magdalenastraat, which passed through the Coudenberg Gate of the first city walls near the abbey of the same name. In the 19th century, this stretch was renamed Rue de Namur/Naamsestraat, replacing the older designation.
