Hiking

"Visitors made room for a wide range of restorers who, with the patience of angels, made all the rooms and corridors shine again. After a flourishing summer in which we were able to share all the beauty again, the castle is temporarily returning to hibernation. We look forward to seeing you again from March 31, 2024."
"On February 11, exactly one hundred years after the opening of the castle as a museum, we will communicate our program for 2024!"

Hiking

In the seventeenth century, Count René de Renesse bought Gaasbeek Castle and the surrounding park. Thanks to this controversial man, impressive changes were carried out on the domain, which he wanted to transform into a real Baroque park. Three witnesses to this fairy-tale concept remain today, including this glory. Want to take shelter from the sun and enjoy a cup of chocolate? That was possible in this precious, oval summer salon, almost a bonbonnière. Inside there is a lavish stucco ceiling dating from around 1620.

The pleasure pavilion in Gaasbeek is a Baroque garden pavilion that was built around 1620-1625 on behalf of Renaat van Renesse van Warfusée, the then lord of Gaasbeek. The pavilion is located in the park of Gaasbeek Castle, a historic castle and museum. The pavilion has an oval-round shape, a slate roof and a beautiful stucco ceiling with mosaic and mythological figures. The pavilion is surrounded by a double staircase that leads to the ponds and the park.
