A discussion of architecture in the Duchy of Brabant during the reign of Jeanne of Brabant and Wencelas of Luxumbourg (1355–1406). The Count of Flanders' 1356 invasion of Brabant motivated the construction of new surrounding walls in most of the towns. This impacted negatively on the construction of market and city halls. Little remains of the court architecture constructed by Wencelas. Meanwhile, the second half of the 14th century saw the beginnings of the Gothic reconstructions of the major urban collegial churches, the rise of new religious orders, and the promotion of new pilgrimages.
