De Warande is a Diestian iron sandstone hill in the middle of the city, with a keep and traces of a 14th century castle. The park was laid out in a landscape style circa 1880, with the keep as a lime arbor at its center. The park contains archaeological remains, a fence wall, drossard house with porter's house and a neoclassical mansion (1847-1848) transformed into a monumental entrance gate. The domain is also surrounded by a 1500 m long wall of 3 m high

In the protected Warande Park there are many remains of walls and a well from a castle from the thirteenth century. The Warande is a witness hill made of iron sandstone that was previously mined on site. The amphitheater in the Warande Park was an extraction pit. The unique path structure can already be found on maps from 1700. At the request of park visitors, an educational route was also set up in the park. More: diest.be/speelbos-de-warande
