The Poelaert Elevators (French: Ascenseurs Poelaert; Dutch: Poelaertliften), in popular language Elevators of the Marolles (French: Ascenseurs des Marolles; Dutch: Liften van de Marollen) is a public elevator in the Marolles/Marollen district of Brussels, Belgium. It connects the lower and upper town at the Square Breughel l'Ancien/Breughel de Oudeplein with the Place Poelaert/Poelaertplein, in the vicinity of the Palace of Justice. The elevator consists of two independent elevators, hence the plural elevators (French: ascenseurs; Dutch: liften) sometimes used for its name.
