Comte de Flandre metro station

Comte de Flandre (French) or Graaf van Vlaanderen (Dutch) is a Brussels Metro station located in the municipality of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, in the western part of Brussels, Belgium. The station takes its name from the nearby Rue du Comte de Flandre/Graaf van Vlaanderenstraat.

The metro station opened on 8 May 1981 as part of the Sainte-Catherine/Sint-Katelijne–Beekkant extension of former line 1. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by lines 1 and 5, which cross Brussels from east to west.

Under the name 16 X Icarus, sixteen apparently flying dolls made of plaster and bronze are suspended from the ceiling at different heights in the station hall and above the platforms. The artwork is by Paul Van Hoeydonck.
