The Japanese tower in Laeken was not built for the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris nor bought by king Leopold. It is a new one, but by the same architect: Alexandre Marcel. The only building which was bought in Paris by king Leopold II is the entrance pavilion (which gave access to an attraction called "Panorama du tour du monde" and containing different buildings among which a Japanese tower, a Portugese one, a muslim one and an indian one).
