The Ixelles Ponds (Étangs d'Ixelles) are two artificial lakes in the heart of Ixelles, ringed by a tranquil promenade and some of Brussels' finest Art Nouveau and Art Deco residences.
The ponds were created in the 13th century as fishponds for the nearby Cistercian abbey. The surrounding residential quarter developed in the late 19th century.
