Topographia historica Gallo-Brabantiae is a 1692 Amsterdam topographical book by Jacques Le Roy, printed by Hermann Allard, documenting castles, towns and monasteries of the Brabant region for an educated audience of collectors and the nobility. Its engraved views show walled castles seen in strong perspective from above, with formal gardens, moats, coats of arms in the corners and small figures in the foreground, offering designers clear examples of early modern architectural and garden layouts.
