The Labour Party in Belgium (Belgische Werkliedenpartij or Parti Ouvrier Belge) was founded in a cafe in the Grande Place in Brussels.
In April 1885, 112 workers came together in De Zwaan, which still stands there to this day.
It is also the location where Karl Marx is said to have written the Communist Manifesto and where he celebrated New Years Eve 1847.
