Hôtel Aubecq is a house designed by Victor Horta for Belgian industrialist Octave Aubecq, the co-founder of cookware manufacturer Le Creuset.
The house was designed with three facades in order to allow maximal exposure to natural light. Construction of the frame and exterior lasted from 1899 to 1902; the interior construction was completed in 1904.
Hôtel Aubecq was destroyed in 1949, but some of the facades have been saved with the hope that it will someday be rebuilt. One of them can be found at the entrance to Tenbosch Park, approximately 300 meters from its original location. Some of the original interior pieces from the house, including stained glass and wood furniture, are now on display at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
